Lack of houses on the market

[HalleLouja]

We have put our house on the market (just outside St Albans) and have quite a few viewings in the last couple of weeks since its been on the market and even an offer (which is too low). But typically there is nothing that hits our brief on the market.

I know no-one has a crystal ball but do people think the market will pick up? Not sure why I am asking but maybe to find other people in the same boat.

@hallelouja that’s great! We’ve finally had an offer accepted. Although I don’t love the house, the location is great and just generally hoping it’s the right decision! We’re having some issues finding a school place which doesn’t help 😫

Someone wise once said Location Location Location. Fingers crossed it all works out school and house wise for you.

Weirdly, the house we have bought didn’t look great on rightmove but we love it, now we are in it.

Its a nightmare. We have just lost our onward purchase late in the process and now our buyer has given us 4 weeks to get an offer accepted elsewhere or he's dropping out. We put an over asking price offer on today and it's immediately gone to sealed bids. It's exhausting.

Oh god I've just seen you've moved! Happy moving day!

We also first had an offer accepted in March... no sign of moving yet 😫😫😫

Thanks - we ended up being really lucky this house came up as we haven’t seem anything come up since we would even go and see let alone buy.

Sounds like you are having a nightmare. The market seems to have picked up here but nothing really worth buying. Fingers crossed the next 4 weeks are productive for you.

I'd love to move,I looked into it earlier this year but there's nothing on the market here.
I'd be okay with leaving the area but my partner wouldn't want to be too far away from his parents.
