AIBU? First time house selling

[rootsandwings89]

We put our first home on the market last Friday as we need to upsize and have more space for our family. We have a smaller sized 3-bed detached house in a nice area with a big back garden. Our neighbours have all sold fairly quickly in previous years.

I thought over the weekend people would have seen it on rightmove and we’d have had some interest/viewing requests but we’ve had nothing! I know it’s early days but I feel really upset and panicking it’s an indication our house will be hard to sell

Our estate agent also said he was disappointed and expected some interest but blamed it on nervousness in the housing market because of the war in Iran

Is anyone else in the same boat or had similar experiences? Am I being unreasonable or am I right to be worried??

I think there’s always a price that a house will sell at, it’s just whether you are willing to sell it for that. We were on the market for 8m last year, dropped the price by £25k and relisting on Friday and had an asking price offer by the end of the day.

It’s less than I hoped we’d be able to sell for, but ultimately dropping the price got us a buyer quickly.

I went to see a local house like this - the previous owners had part-exchanged it for another house with a company I think, and it’s the company that then listed it with two estate agents.
