They'll be back to confirm whether they are making an offer within 24 hours <<bites nails>>

[Pinkjenny]

Our house has been on the market for 11 months. We have had one offer withdrawn, one which we rejected, and now we are (apparently) about to receive another.

So, countdown begins.

Fingers crossed for you.

fingers crossed for you!

Good luck!!!

Oh lots of luck and vibes here Pinkjenny.

Thanks. I am shitting myself extremely calm and composed about the whole thing.

The hanging is just shit. You just want them to get on with it either they want it or they don't. I am the most impatient person ever and I hate that not knowing one way or the other feeling. Sometimes you want to get the folk that are doing this and strangle them. I realise they may be deliberating but jeezus get on with it.

I know, and in my heart of hearts, I don't really want a buyer like this. I want someone who sees it, wants it, and puts an offer in.

But then I am an impetuous type.

Dh is the cautious one and I am more heart on my sleeve. He usually does the talking because if I like something I would probably just offer the asking price there and then!

Ah, me too.

oh, fingers crossed for you pinkjenny.
wishing you good luck!

Good luck! (Am in a similar situation...)

Still nothing. And it is strictly 25 hours now.

How fecking annoying. What's the deal, you either want a house or not? God I hate fecking dithery people. I hope you hear something soon.

Fimbo - I cannot concentrate in work, just sitting here willing the phone to ring. Bloody hesitant bastards. Why can't they just get on with it?

My friend has had no luck selling her house and has to move as her dh has been in his new role for 18mths and is living with her dad, whilst she is here with the dc. They have now resigned themselves to renting theirs out and renting where her dh is. A lady phoned eager to view my friend's property and then 10 minutes before she was due phoned to say she still wanted to see it but had been called away on urgent business. She didn't make another appointment despite saying she still wanted to see it. As I said to my friend if your dc falls and breaks a leg or something than yes 10 minutes before a viewing you could understand a trip to A & E. But an urgent business trip? Even my dh's urgent business trips would give him more notice.

Game players. We had the same.

Bet they are discussing strategy, like, we'll go in at this price, and if that gets rejected then we'll offer this. etc etc

We counter offered, they came in at one price we said no but if you come back at this price, we'll take it. And they did.

I really want to ring the EA, but I know there is absolutely no point, because when they have news, they will ring me.

But I still want to.

Phone them PJ, I would.

Fimbo, you are such an enabler

As predicted, no news. It doesn't look good, does it?

LOL. I am feeling your pain. You don't know. If dh wasn't married to someone with the same line of thinking as him, then he would probably spin his decisions out like this especially in the current climate. Whereas he gets his head nipped so much by me, that he does anything for a quite life. I do let him deliberate but not for too long.

Hmmm quite live would be good but quiet is better.

they're not going to be in a rush to make their offer, the house isn't going anywhere as far as they're concerned; I think plenty of people might take a few days to think about how much to offer.

I wouldn't give up hope yet but you can't sit by the phone all weekend! Can you do anything interesting to distract yourself?
