House on the market for 2 weeks only 1 enquiry...

[cricketqueen]

Our house has been on the market for 2 weeks and we have only had 1 enquiry which hasn't progressed to a viewing yet. Should I be worried? It's a nice decent sized 2 bed terrace, it's on the market for £115,000, a house on the same street sold a few months ago for 107,000 but it didn't have a kitchen extension like we have. There is a house on the street in front up for sale for 110,000 but it's smaller than ours. How long should I leave it before chasing the agents etc.

Sorry just saw your post.

What are the photos like? The layout? Description?

Some agents are more active then others at pulling people in. I would give your estate agents a deadline and then look at another one.

However you've done work and zoopla has no knowledge of that.

Not quite true, you can go into Zoopla and refine the estimate as the property owner and add improvements.

Give us a link OP? We can hep you with photos etc

[badgercat]

are you marketed properly ? decent pictures, floorplan, listing on rightmove and zoopla, lots of hits for listing, all these things will have an effect.

We sold within the first week after 8 viewings, that fell through and we sold 4 weeks later after a total of 15 viewings. We hit a massive slump in the middle and our agent took some new pictures and we redressed some of the rooms.

I'd expect you to have at least ONE nosy viewer ! Can you share the listing here or us to pull see if we can spot the issue ?

The market is f**ked, we lost our sale the other day, put it back on at a 20K discount (from 325K to to 305K) and radio silence - literally nothing! We got 8 viewings when it first went on, 3 months later and nothing. I don't get it, there is something seriously going wrong. I just want to sell up as quickly as possible and get my money and run

We are in London suburbs

I agree with tulips there is definitely something happening in the market that suggests a downturn.

It's just so quiet. I've read about prices stabilising and falling a little but I'm actually seeing it, the properties not selling are those that have been on for months 150k more then people paid for them

I'm in Sussex and the market is actually quite active. Decent houses still going very quickly. We had an offer from only our second viewer and we were involved in a bidding war for the house we're buying. I think you should have an honest chat with your EA about how they're marketing your property. Such little interest is not the norm. Good luck.
