Fed up
It feels like I'm continuously banging my head against a wall trying to sell my house.
Nice, three bed detached house - nothing major that needs doing to it. Nice area.
We've been trying to sell for eight months to get closer to family before our next child arrives. We have had a few people looking round. Many have come back with stupid reasons why they don't like it - wishing it had four bedrooms not three, not liking our choice of paint colour, disliking where it is etc. Things that make me question why they even wasted our time in the first place? Several really really liked it (or so we were told) but then messed us around, stringing us on for weeks before eventually not offering.
We changed estate agents nearly two months ago and finally got a viewing last week. The viewers loved it - literally put an offer in within an hour of viewing!
House is up for £385. Offer was £360. Not going to lie, our hearts sank a little. We tried to negotiate up. They came up to £365. Estate agents asked if they could go to £370 as we told them we would accept this. Answer was no. Then they withdrew their offer of £365 because we had asked for £370.
It felt like a massive kick in the teeth as the house is not overpriced initially. However, looking at the current situation we had already planned to lower to £375 anyway before we got the viewing so after a lot of discussions, my husband and I decided that we would accept £365. It's been eight months after all and we just want to get the ball rolling as we want to get pregnant again.
Today the estate agent got in touch with them and asked them to put their offer back on the table. You would think they would bite our hand off. Instead they told them that they 'need to think about it'.
I'm really fed up and I don't really understand what we did wrong.
