Finally I have had an offer on my flat

[DillyDally]

sadly it is below what I want, but perhaps it is a sign of good things starting to happen on the housing market

Is it a first offer - are they likely to come back with more?

I hope so, it was 12% below the asking price and the estate agent told me to reject.

what will you accept? anything under, or are you holding out for asking price?

Willing to accept less than asking price but have dropped price before christmas (to a reasonable level i.e. 35k below what first estate agent wanted to market it at) and the offer the person put was below what the flat underneath me sold for - minus a car parking space a year ago.
Does that seem reasonable?
terrible wording in this post sorry.

don't tell GDG she'll be !

My lips are sealed...it has been on the market since august though if it makes anyone feel any better.

her house has been on since July - no offers yet

has she checked out the website that tells you how much your neighbours bought their houses for? i think it was nethouseprices.co.uk but can check, it is grim reading.

she sure has and so have I - its a great site!

well the offer I received was below everything on that list and I promise you I don't live in that much squalor. (the flats are identical)
