Re: who else is waiting to sell there house....
Hi we are new to this thread but we too are waiting to sell our house. We have our 136 visas and oh has a job with queensland ambulance service, but we have had our house on the market since August and it still isn't sold 
We have reduced it but we don't want to give it away and we have put it up with another agent. We have even bought a St. Joseph from America to put it our garden and he supposed to help sell your house ( the americans swear by him
) so we hope he works.Good luck to all of you that have sold hope we won't be far behind you

Re: who else is waiting to sell there house....
New to this thread, but wanted to add my name to the list. House went on market December 2006 at 280k. Received 'cheeky' offer of 230k in Feb 2007. Turned it down.
Then nothing! Reduced price several times (now 240k) Got a house doctor in in November 2007, spent 7k and then back on market in Feb. Got offer of 230k in March 2008. Sale fell through 2 weeks later (as chain collapsed).
Still waiting and price now 230k and still no viewings.
Why oh why did we not accept the offer in Feb 2007.
We'd have been there and having a barbie by now!!!
It feels my life has been on hold for over a year now. Even had to waste money for five of us to activate the visas. (But had a great holiday!!!)
It will happen, but I hate seeing my equity disappear - that was our cushion in case we couldn't get jobs. Things are much scarier now without that bit of security.

Re: who else is waiting to sell there house....
Hi BE's,
Thought I might add my name twice - got 2 up for sale.
First one has been up a year - no offers at all - maybe a handful of viewers.
Second has been up 2 months - no views - no nothing.
If we could sell 1 we'd be happy - oh please let us sell 1.

Re: who else is waiting to sell there house....
Had our house up since Feb. 2008, had 5 viewers so far, but no offers.
We have tried to offer 10% deposit to buyer, but our EA said that you're not allowed to do that???
His FA said max you're allowed to offer is 5% (that's what the banks will accept as anything more seems a bit dodgy).
Anyway trying that this week and if that doesn't work will change EA at end of month.
Does anyone know of someone who has sold house cheap to cash buyer and actually gone through with sale of house.They always have quotes of MRs... etc on websites but i always think how do you know they haven't made all these stories up and if you can really trust them? Anyone got any opinions on these- as we have booked flights for August so need to sell fast if we can.
