A hefty drop in price made us more realistically priced and the viewings rose dramatically. However, any hope we had of getting that price or in excess of it vanished. Every one is out for a bargain. There is no logic to house prices. Next door sold for £230 000 about eighteen months ago but we have only been offered 175 000. Even allowing for differences (garage and conservatory) that is a big drop. Round the corner our friends have sold their huge six bedroomed house for 250 000, and it took as long as ours did and three agents. Meanwhile a modern and tiny box by a lake is on the market for £250 000. How much is a view worth?
Meanwhile we have found a house and are on tenterhooks waiting to know if our offer is accepted and if our buyers are still keen after we initially turned down their offer. If they have found somewhere else that thatis that.
Decorating the kitchen and we have bought paint for the study.
