We have had some good news...of sorts.
Basically, today we have accepted a low offer 21k less than 6months ago!
BUT....
we now have second view booked from a view this afternoon.....so we may be able to increase or offer I know it sound awful but it has all been a bit weird..
WE wanted to wait until after the view today to accept the offer beacuse it was low. I called EA and they said she was interested but not commiting, so i accepted the offer.....then as the EA was on the phone to our buyer an EA at the other office called to say that the viewer today wanted another view!
Fantastic news We got 2 offers in the same week, like buses these offers. Choose wisely. Good luck

2 weeks thats great fingers crossed


just read on our august thread a new way to turn the powers of the mighty houseselling god your way

It's a feng shui thing. Get a small box, nice paper, and write what to wish to happen with a new pen (something like: I want my house to sell quickly for a decent price etc). Blow some air on the paper, roll it, place in the box together with a business card of your estate agent and maybe even a picture of the house with SOLD written on it. Place the box somewhere on the right hand-side of your entrance door.
Worth a try. cant do no harm but after burying St Joe think the neighbours will think I'v finally cracked if they see me do that:embaressed_smile:

Great news Mozzy! Fingers crossed the offer will be issued really soon. Are you still in Austria???

Hi Angie - it sounds fantastic. Glad you're having a good time and are now confident you can settle there. Perth house prices are coming down, like ours -maybe it would be worth your while cutting you house price again just to get a sale???? (Don't know the situation - obviously)

Hope the rest of your stay is as great and see you back in Wales at the next meet. xxx

We did too - just after I ordered the St Joe.... spooky....

Worth a try. cant do no harm but after burying St Joe think the neighbours will think I'v finally cracked if they see me do that:embaressed_smile:

What do we care, we are all nuts - this house selling business has driven us that way!!

I'm green with envy wish I was there well wish I was anywhere but here at the mo Enjoy the hols

I know - we could really do with a holiday but can't afford one really with all the money we've lost on the house. Might have to validate in Feb too, so have to save our pennies for that.

Anyone got any viewings booked this weekend?
No viewings but TWO kids parties. One today and one tomorrow. I can tell it's going to be fraught.

How are you Tina - feeling a little less shocked?

Hi bb, at least you have the offer and could take it if you want to. See what the other viewers position is like.

[QUOTE=Fly Away;6415686]I don't clean very much now - still working on the dirty house principle. It is a right tip at the moment after a week of term.QUOTE]

My house is still clean so am not doing any more today but we are going to start on the loft.

Thats great Mozzy, at least things are moving now. Please no more ways to sell the house Have already got the St. Joe's and done the red envelope but I do sort of believe in the feng shui thing too, so may have to do that one

You are such a good friend and what you are going to do is just fantastic

Being the wife of somebody going through it is pretty awful too and apart from my kids, there was nobody that did anything apart from ring to see how OH was (which is kind but not very helpful). I spent so many hours in the hospitals with him and then even more when he was so sick in the days that followed that life stopped for me too. You certainly know who to appreciate and who is a good friend when it is all over. There should be more like you


Just had the feedback from EA from yesterdays viewer. EA spoke to wife who didn't view and from what was said he really liked the house. I interrupted him and said but he hasn't even got his on the market, EA said that they have now been to value it, so will see but think a waste of time really.

Good luck to everyone this weekend
