Thought we could all do with a laugh

independent online: Secret Agent: 'People would rather pull their own teeth than put their house on the market now'

"Even he is capable of working out that sales figures can only be improved if there's something there to sell, yet when people are about as keen to put their house on the market as they are to remove their own wisdom teeth, it's not easy."

If I were the vendor, I'd start negotiating on fees. Only that's illegal because of archaic laws created to protect estate agents (who are often ex-cons) from having to earn their living by doing actual work.

No, and people didn't want to sell in 1990-1995 either...but they had to!

What they resist will persist.

Despite holding out, they will eventually be kicking and screaming to get out of property at any price.
