I already hate this house buying/selling malarkey!
My house has been on the market for a month. The valuation, done by two different EAs put it at £170-175k.
So it's been on Right Move and all the sites, we had an Open House thingy on Saturday, and all I got from it was an offer for £156k. This has been raised twice, ending at £163k.
There are other, similar properties nearby with asking prices of £175 and £180; possibly in better nick, but without the conservatory mine has.
So should I hold out for £170 and tell my EA to do a better job, and risk losing the one buyer who has so far shown any interest, or do I give a lot of consideration to the lower offer?
In theory there is no hurry; there is nothing pushing me to sell quicker. I have seen a property I like, and will be consulting with my mortgage man to work out if I can afford it, but I'm expecting someone else to offer more as it's a good area. Trying so hard not to get my hopes up for getting that one, especially as the offer on my place was so low.
Once I sell my house I plan on moving in with my mum for a few months, so there's no need to get a chain up and running. So I can hold out for the higher figure... right?!?!
