I know hun - we all feel the same. Wales is particularly bad unfortunately. Did you know that Beth has given up and is staying in the Uk as she can't sell? It's so depressing. No one at the meet has sold.... Don't stay away as we all understand.

Not really feeling any more positive. Just have to get on with it. I'm just being hopeful, that's all I can be. Doesn't help that OH is a complete pessimist so I am fighting that all the time. In the end it brings me down too.

Sending you big (((((huggggs)))))) too Janine. It's so hard to keep positive.

Our house took 7 years to finish. OH also a builder. It's true what they say about builders.

I know how you feel. When we bought this house, moving to Oz wasn't even on the agenda. It was where we were going to bring up the children and live here for a very long time. Now I hate this house, as it's stopping me from going to live our adventure. I just want out too.

Same here - it was a big investment for the future for us and we didn't intend to move until we retired.

Me too. Totally disheartened. It's not right, only a couple of weeks ago we were all on here having a real laugh with everyone. Now we're all so down in the dumps.

We'll pick up again soon - at least we have each other.
Good luck with your new EA, Bec. We've just signed on with another agent so we're now on a joint agency agreement.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) to everyone.
Good luck to you and Bec - hope this works for you. It can't make things worse can it??? It's all publicity.

Good luck with the new EA. It does help to know that others are in the same boat as you and it is not just your house not selling just the market at the moment. Fingers crossed for some more viewers now.

I am fighting to keep positive all the time and OH is so desperate that sometimes it really has a negative effect on me.


Our house took 7 years to finish. OH also a builder. It's true what they say about builders.

What is it with builders, you would think they would want the perfect house. I said to OH the other day that the shower keeps dripping what can we do and he said I don't know!!!!!!!! He doesn't even change a lightbulb and we have other people in to do our decorating and anything that needs doing yet he builds a complete house, I don't get it.

I know how you feel. When we bought this house, moving to Oz wasn't even on the agenda. It was where we were going to bring up the children and live here for a very long time. Now I hate this house, as it's stopping me from going to live our adventure. I just want out too.

This too was my dream house and was so happy here until Oz came up now it is a burden


Me too. Totally disheartened. It's not right, only a couple of weeks ago we were all on here having a real laugh with everyone. Now we're all so down in the dumps.

It will only take a couple of us to sell and it will lift everyone again

Good luck with your new EA, Bec. We've just signed on with another agent so we're now on a joint agency agreement.

I must have missed that one, Beth staying in the UK. Is it just because she can't sell.


Chin up peeps

OMG - that can't be real, can it?

Hope your new marketing helps

Our viewer came back with another offer, an extra £5K, EA says he is a hard person to communicate with, in addition to the fact he is Oman, so not sure how much we can squeeze out of him. Waiting to see what happens today, we have told EA we will accept the latest offer, but only if he will agree to completion in the normal time frame (EA has already told us, he is not coming back to UK for 5 or 6 months).
So all fingers crossed.

Not even thought about that, I presume it will all take longer because of paperwork having to be posted to Oman etc. Another complication (sigh)

When will it end. The news this morning was far more positive than of late. There was a fella on there saying that the market is stabilising not crashing and I tend to agree with him. Just unfortunate for us that people are just waiting to see what happens, scared I suppose. I would be too.

I have a good feeling this week though.
