My hubby and I are feeling pretty chuffed today. We just put our PPOR on the market (we are upgrading suburb and size). The first open home was today. I left poor hubby and kids to manage it on his own today (in terms of cleaning/organising, not running the actual event ), cause I'm overseas. We had cleaners/gardeners in to fix everything up during the week, so it does really look sparkling. But kudos again to my hubby who borrowed a little table and chairs from our neighbour and got some roses cut from their garden to put in the front yard... that was his idea, and he really did go the extra mile with the whole house. I'm very blessed to have such a good man.... Anyway, I'm getting off track...
The photos only went up on the internet on Wednesday afternoon. Anyway, the agent rang me afterwards and said it was a record number of people for them to an open home.
There were 53 groups of people through... with a total of around 120 people. (I'm not sure whether she was exaggerating about it being a record for them, but it certainly is alot of people). 14 people have requested contracts so far.
So either we have alot of very nosy neighbours (which we do), or the interest rate cut has encouraged the buyers to come out of the woodwork.
Some of the people who came were worried that it was such a busy street cause there was no parking...... but it is a quiet street, and its just there were so many people who attended.
So, hopefully we will have some good offers and a bit of competition to push the price up. It might all be done and dusted by the time I get back from my trip.
