Same here, hence my username! We have been tentatively looking for about a year, we're planning to keep this house to rent out and buy the 'forever home' (if that exists) next. So we aren't in a rush as such but I'm getting frustrated where we are because although the house is nice enough, it's not the area we want to settle in and now I'm a SAHM with one DC and another on the way in really feeling like this isn't home more than ever.
We've looked at a few but nothing that quite fits the bill. There is one that's still on the market which is a great location and has loads of potential but needs a lot of work and we don't feel the price reflects what we'd need to spend on it. It's probate and has been empty for 2 years so I'm just clinging on to the vague possibility of them reducing it enough to get it sold before another winter. We are talking a big chunk off the asking price though and it's already been reduced by £30k so I'm not hopeful.
I am literally on rightmove multiple times a days it actually drives me mad but I'm addicted!
What's more my husband and I are bother chartered surveyors and my husband runs a business locally. We'd like to hope that nothing would get by us because he's always on rightmove for work too, but I think that makes it more of an obsession!
For what it's worth, August is always quiet because people (buyers, estate agents, solicitors etc) are on holiday so nothing happens. It's also true though that people don't want to move over Christmas/winter! I was hoping for a promising spring, but it wasn't this spring so maybe it will be next spring!
I do think also though that some people will hold of until after Brexit just to see what happens, although if Brexit makes house prices drop as they predict I don't know why you wouldn't try to sell before unless you are going to stay put long term and ride out the price fluctuations.
Feel like I've found my people on this thread, I can stop chewing my husband's ear off about it now!
