Hi everyone
After making a decent profit out of Madora Bay (Mandurah, WA) over the last couple of years, I'm afraid I got a little cocky and bought 2 more blocks right at the peak of the boom last year. I bought them with the intention of selling after a few months, as per the gains I had made previously. Unfortunately, my lesson has been a very expensive one, and I know what I have done wrong, and (after beating myself up for a while) made my peace with it. I'm now at a point where I'm keen to cut my losses and move on, but I can't seem to sell them at all now.
I have two vacant lots and one brand new house, all priced at or below market, and not one of them is moving. Unfortunately my holding costs are blowing out and I just can't hold on to them any more, so I'm wondering if anyone has any 'out of the box' suggestions for how to get them moving. Even if I could get rid of at least one of them, it eases our monthly interest payments and gives us some breathing space. I just really don't know what to do anymore, short of continuing to lower the price, which doesn't seem to help if there are no buyers out there.
I have them all listed with LJ Hooker Mandurah, and I'm really happy with my agent so far, but he's not even getting any enquiries on them at all.
I'd love to hear from anyone who's having a similar or (hopefully) a better experience in the area, or who can recommend an agent who's getting results, or anything else that might assist me in changing this very frustrating situation.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
