Big_Head Report post Posted November 17, 2005 Some friends I know been trying to sell house. They have had 2-3 viewings in the last 6 months. In the last few days they had a viewing closely followed by another viewing by the same couple. My friends were very happy with this. Then they were made an offer of 25% below asking price. They are disgusted with this offer thinking they are 'owed' much more than this. They have to decided to take the house of the market until after christmas and I asked why. The answer was that a brother of a close friend is an EA and he has informed them (they see this as inside info!) that prices will shoot up after Christmas.... yes SHOOT up!! The EA is kind of related so I think he would not deliberately mislead my friends, therefore he actually believes prices will go up. I am still finding most people think prices will not drop but pick up again. This shows how effective VI spin is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
