Is anyone noticing a lot of properties being taken off the market? Seems like sellers aren't willing to reduce the price which is a shame. Quite a few on my watchlist showing as taken off the market, which used to be unusual.

Hi all. Bristol born and Bred. Does anyone here live in and around Stokes Croft. Is it good or bad to live here? I'm thinking it will be noisy and some antisocial behaviour. But manageable, and outweighed by living in the city centre.
Dove Street, The Cube Microplex, Ninetree Hill - This side of town.
Hi
I'm currently considering two flats. One in the city centre. It's a bit rough but a short 5-10m walk into town is great. Also I don't drive. Service charges are pretty good, and the overall excitement attracts me. Main worry is it feels like young persons lifestyle whereas I'm single now and in my early 40s, so maybe I should be looking for more of a "home" home.
I found another place out in Staple Hill, so the commute in and out on the bus and bike might be around 30-40m each way. The flat out here would come with a garage and generally seem like a stable long term home with low charges. Main worry is the commute.
Both are around the same price. Does lifestyle trump, boring but safe and reliable, more family orientated?
Cheers.
Ends today as well 🤣
Infuriating
Just bought the Redmi Watch 5 Lite. The watch is excellent, but the app is not so good. It does not track my naps, and the heart rate is only measured in 30 minutes bars. They need better visualisation and presentation of the data.
The battery life is excellent. I'm torn because I've come from Huawei, but the battery life on those devices are not very good.
From Googling, there's too much emphasis on the hardware, but the real value is in the software and how well the data is utilised. I think Xiaomi need to improve that side of things.
Now I'm considering whether to keep it or go back to Huawei. Anyone have any ideas?
