If you need to move before march, are you becoming a "distressed seller" that everyone here likes to find and take advantage of?

IMO it doesn't matter what it cost you to build, nor when you paid it.


The only thing that matters is what the buying public are prepared to pay in this market - that is, today.


If one was purchasing, it could well be a case of "keep dreaming" from the other side of the contract as well.


IME, the only people who have the luxury of saying "keep dreaming" are those that aren't forced to make a decision.

we need to move before march

Either that wasn't correct, or your calendar is broken. Sunfish nailed it.

circumstances changed, do not have to move for at least 3years now.

however if we still had to move we would of rented it only reason trying to sell was to unlock the equity for other investment purposes LVR is less then 40%,



not selling anytime in the near future

big marketing campaign for auction was a big waste of time and money

Couldn't agree more. House in our street sold recently for $1.54M and the marketing budget was $25K

Add that to the $43K commission. That is a LOT of money coming out of the sale price.

$25K gives a LOT of advertising to promote the agency, but is totally escessive for an auction programme in my opinion.
