  • We have no idea what to do, been back on the market 3 weeks, had one viewing seemingly from someone who wasn't taking buying seriously and was just looking around.

    No interest whatsoever, compared to the 20+viewings and 5 offers we had in 3 weeks in August.
    Advice online suggests being prominent after Christmas is key and it will pickup quickly in the new year, wondering whether we should look at switching estate agents and launching a new listing in January, but seems a bit harsh given we don't have any problem with our current one.

  • I would switch and get new pictures - when I see a house being listed several times with same pics and agent, I assume something is off with it.

  • I think in the current times it's less unusual to see things re-appear. I'd be tempted to take it off and launch it as a new ad but I'm not sure whether it's with the same agent or another with new pictures will make any difference (unless your current pictures are crap). Anyone who is looking properly will see it is the same place.

    It used to be that boxing day was the busiest day for property websites. Not sure if that will be the case this year but worth bearing in mind

  • Is it on at the same price? Would you be comfortable sharing a link? What's the outside space situation?

    It seems odd that you had that interest before but so little now.

    Covid and lockdowns have changed the game in terms of what people are interested in but if people were prepared to offer five times then your place can't be one of these places that seem to have become pretty much unsellable.

    That was traditionally the case. In this current market - God knows tbh.

    Don't worry about switching agents being harsh. They're not bringing in viewings. Maybe tell them you'll switch unless they get some buyers knocking on your door?

  • I'd suggest new photos and possibly a new agent. Simply because as others have stated if I see the same house listed a few times I'd think something was off.

  • Apparently some people spend there weekends going to house viewings they have no interested in buying, strange hobby.
