We were going to wait until early next year to sell but ended up doing it last week. The agent we used told us we pretty much had until the end of the month and then it wouldn't be worth it. Rushed through a million little DIY jobs to make the place presentable and he got about 12 people through the door in 2 days.
Now having trouble finding a place though that might also be down to my very long wish-list. Offered on a couple of places at 10-5% under asking but they obviously weren't motivated enough to accept that (strangely one had previous sale fall through so you would have thought they would be desperate).

I never quite understand this sort of thing. Tempted to say it's not worth it for the agent. From a seller's perspective, maybe your property stays on the market for a bit longer than normal, but we're talking 4 weeks extra, not 4 months!
Presumably congratulations are in order if you managed to accept an offer that you're happy with!

I can understand that. Do you think offering under valuation is the done thing at the moment? Just so I can prepare myself...

Cheers both.
@Gewürzt the thinking is getting eyeballs as you say, but don't want to appear desperate what with December being quiet - @andyp our agent's view seems to match your experience; everyone's busy eating mince pies at Christmas markets instead of making offers on houses.
