Dec. 9, 2006 - 5th time lucky

Again, not sold.... people did need to buy somewhere desperately, but bought somewhere else... quite a bit cheaper... looked at the details of the house they have bought thinking, oh dear, we are still overpriced.... but the house they have bought is much smaller..... so in chatting to the estate agents, the buyers again liked our property, but it was a bit higher than they really could afford.....

Now, I wouldn't want to condemn people to debt, but do the estate agents sell at all, or just show people around?

Regardless, another viewing on Sunday.... thats a step forward.... first time we've had two viewings in a week (or even in a fortnight come to think of it!)...

I guess the only positive is that people viewing at this time of the year are likely to be far more serious about buying....

The estate agents are showing these people around on Sunday.... we're off down to Ipswich to do a bit of Christmas shopping, to hand the entry fob and key back to the marina, and to show our faces to the marina staff to keep in their good books should we need a berth in the new year! it'll be handy still being able to park in the marina car park... avoid the Christmas parking nightmare....
