My house has been on the market now for 3 weeks without as much as a phone call!!
My next door neighbour sold in April and was sale agreed within two weeks, well above her asking price.
How long would you leave it with an agent with no feedback whatsoever? I am not blaming the agent by the way. She has put it on my home, daft etc. I am thinking of perhaps advertising it in the local paper also?
I had put a holding deposit on a new house (which it will look like I will now not be able to buy) as I am not sure if the house will sell at all.
Have been awake till four o'clock in the morning worrying about all this. Makes me want to just stay put. I agree with the previous poster who said selling was definitely more stressful than buying.
I have already pitched mine at €10K less than what was achieved next door to me in April, so unless I really have to, I dont want to drop any more. Even after dropping €10K if its not selling, I am going to question whether its worth me moving as I am already getting the max. mortgage and the €10K could see me priced out.
In respect of the house being tidy, etc, out of the 8 for sale already, mine is certainly in the top three in terms of decor, and in terms of location within the estate it would be the best.
All the Estate agent is doing is leaving it on my home, etc and also their property list. Do you think it would be worth putting it in the local paper, etc. I dont mind paying for additional advertising, once it gets me the result.
I am an agent in the Dublin area. What I say would be the general opinion for all agents at present.
At the beginning of 2001 the market fell back a little and as a result many people took a back seat and refused to purchase.
The market took a couple of months to pick up but when it did it was very aggressive with many people left with nothing to buy in their price range.
This year we have seen interest rates increase by 1% which level pegs with the appreciation so we should now see little increase in appreciation for the latter half of this year which in the long run is great.
This is an open forum where people seek opinions from others. Your attack is unprovoked and unnecessary. I, like you am only trying to offer assistance to those who want it.
At the moment I am totally cheesed off with it all. And if people think they have problems buying, there are just as many messers when you are trying to sell.
