They've stopped and are on their way back up. End of thread.
Don't agree. Every time a 'BMV' property is bought, a new low benchmark of MV price gets set. ie today's 'BMV' sets tomorrow's 'MV'. If you read many a PH thread there's no end of BMV buying going on or being contemplated or being advised, and personally I'm finding it easier and easier to get cheaper and cheaper property on all quality levels. I´m currently looking at a property which is on for around 600k. It´s been on for 9 months and to me is over-priced and 30 people have looked at it and said it´s overpriced. It´s just gone on with another agent at 660k. So for 9 months it did not sell at 600k, so they increase the price!! This property was last sold 25 years ago, so no idea on increase, but incredible to think peopel still don´t get the market.
People seem to be staying put at the minute where I live with large increases in asking prices and very small/stagnant changes in actual selling prices
Where will it go? I think prices will bumble along for a few years

I don't get why it has gone priced higher nwhats the logic if it doesn't sell at x nit for sure isn't gona sell for x+10 percent of x.People seem to be staying put at the minute where I live with large increases in asking prices and very small/stagnant changes in actual selling prices

What's the logic?
That they will factor in giving a discount of 10 percent hence the higher asking price.
Though wouldn't it be the same people looking at the house so that logic doesn't work as they will see it taken off the market and put on with a different agent at a higher price so ? I'm confused as people will know so it won't result in higher price.
At the end of the day you can holld of the sale till you get what you want however evenitably you will have to sell it , and it will sell for what its worth rather than the sellers inflated perception of what its worth , seems the next 5 years will bring a lot of people back to relity.

What's the logic?
Wild guess, especially if it's correct that 30 people have looked at it; they're sending a message to people not to make low offers. Perhaps they're hoping that people will think they missed it at £600K so they'll come back and beg to be allowed to buy the house.What's the logic?
] tonk's rough rule of thumb looks about right.essayer said:
clearly the Hertfordshire property market is doing well !
It must be - my Son-In-Law tried to do that in the NorthWest and only just got his money back. In my opinion he did the refurb all wrong though - internally it looked like an executive apartment which probably terrified all the Grannies who came to see it.alfaman said:
bargain probate sale with some time pressure to cash in ?
It must have been, I walked past that house every day and it was near abandoned, blocked from view by a huge overgrown garden. Then a team of builders came in and completely blitzed it in a week, and just as they were laying the drive the sold sign went up and someone had moved in. I hadn't even seen it go on Rightmove..alfaman said:

If it was then somebody messed up with the valuations.My wife's late Godparents bungalow which was basically untouched since it was built in the mid-50's sold last year. I was gobsmacked by how hight the valuation was and the EA held an open day which was apparently pandemonium. It sold for full asking price, about 15% less than other similar properties where sitting unsold for.
Similar happened with an almost derelict (roof fallen in etc) semi-detached bunglaow in our village - sold at auction for £166K. In good nick it wouldn't break £200K.

Yes I have that in my head, but I said that I would not offer as I did not want to insult them. They came back with... give us an offer anyway and I said 450..... they rejected this and are thinking on their next steps..... Why 660? no idea, just crazy thinking, but we´ll see where this pans out to
