CynicAl Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Why is the agent even wasting their time ?These are both pretty new looking. So any differences between the two will be tiny - if at all. The one that is fixed at £150k is clearly saying "Offer us £140k and you can have it" So what is the point in asking for offers over £169k for one next door... Scotland really does take the mick with it's delusion. I'm tempted to go and view the higher priced one just to ask why they are expecting >£20k more than the other guy. Southerly aspects?

bailey Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 The sellers have enlisted Re/Max who have taken the laughably interesting approach of putting the price up £30k. Now, if something is not selling for o/o £169k how can you be so stupid as to be persauded that it will sell at o/o £199k?http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sa...xPrice%3D200000 Is this the same house ?

CynicAl Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-207...=1&tr_t=buyThis is about £25k less than all the similar 4 bed houses that are for sale in the Eastern extension in Dunfermline. Obviously someone wants to sell and is willing to be aggressive. Everyone else with a similar 4 bed place nearby will get a shock when they see it. This one appeared on Nethouseprice http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?co...&incode=8FL Looks at the £30,050 drop in 4 months, as entries 1 & 3 are for this house.

They are about 100 yards apart. Maybe the dodgy bathroom is worth the extra £13k? An integrated garage for your bikes and only a short ride to the Glen gates on a Sunday morning! Fill yer boots! What were these selling for at peak? £150k looks cheap for a 3-bed detached, or have I just been out in the sun too long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CynicAl Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Er, no thanks, juggernaut, and I think about £170k-ish at peak. £152k is back to about 2004-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
