to be concerned that our house has been on the market for 2 weeks and not had a single viewing

[whoneedssleepanyway]

don't really have any experience of this as this is the first house I have owned, but it is slightly concerning me that we have had no interest in this at all so far....

I thought September was a fairly busy month and would have thought you would get more viewings at the start of listing your property and these would slow down as it had been on longer...

am worrying now that either our agent is crap or we have listed it for too much money...

Hi there, I hope noone minds me joining this thread. I have had my 2 bed terraced house on the market for a month now with 10 viewings, 4 cancellations and only 1 second viewing but NO offers. My target market really is divorcees, FTB's and Investors. I am very competitively priced given the houses in my area that have sold but the disadvantage is I have 2 not 3 bedrooms and no off-road parking but this is reflected in the price by about -£10k on properties with the aforementioned.

The feedback I have had has really varied from location (main road junction opposite a chip shop), no space to put a downstairs WC for an elderly lady, 2nd bedroom too small, query if master bedroom had damp (it had surface condensation which I have now wiped down and painted over in white). A BTL investor said he would have given the asking price if we had been a few doors down and not opposite the chip shop :-( The positive feedback has been both bedrooms very good size, nothing needs doing to it, one lady loved it but hadn't yet sold her house. The reasons for cancellation have seemed a bit suspect because they haven't rebooked and I wonder if the EA is pushing any old buyer into a viewing when they call about other properties then they have checked it out and found something they don't like from the outside or the pictures online?

I went multi-agency from the start as the 2 EA were so different I couldn't choose. The bigger one has given me most of the viewings but the family run EA has also put 4 my way and their fees are better. We have also signed a one-off contract with another popular agent nearby to have a block viewing with buyers on their books of which 3-4 have definately agreed to. Other than that I don't see what else they can do differently as I am on all the websites and the feedback seems pretty good from the two EA I am with now. I think it may just be a waiting game but how long is too long after I hear of people in this situation months down the line but with a few less hairs to pull out over the hours spent prepping the house and general stress of it all!! The bottom line is I bought my house in a different personal circumstance 7 years ago and it suited me then so it must suit somebody now but in all honesty I was naive and did rush in not thinking about the resale issues of being on a main road opposite a late night takeaway :-(

I agree very worrying no one looking. When we sold in 2008 it took 9 months and 2 price reductions (we ended up selling for 20% less than initial asking) but we still had 15 viewings in first couple of weeks.

Have a look at whats available locally for a similar amount and look at actual sold prices recently locally too.

TalkinPeace2: that site is brilliant. Thanks for posting it.

the flat underneath us was empty when we moved in, year and a half later new owners move in.
