Lol, when people can't be bothered, it means you are right Just check Strindberg's posts - he is happy to point out your mistakes (plenty of them from what I see)
which one - there is a lot of crap written by him (almost nothing true)

I know I have a lot to learn - but I have nothing to learn from someone who knows even less than me.
about "negotiations in buying and selling houses" or investing or economy or .... :lol:
Quote:
I think I know more about negotiations in buying and selling houses than you do - at least I bought the house I live in!
sure you know more about negotiations in buying and selling houses, that is skill not the knowledge and I never wasted my time on that (I hate being next to layers, REA, mortgage and insurance sellers, and other professional liers when they talk "business" - it's like being in the final circle of Hell)
we are talking about macro-economy, financial systems, math, ... not the communication (lying) skills of negotiations
The highest price is not always achieved at the auction - plenty of houses has sold for higher afterwards (eg The Block)
And the other mistake you are making is: Sell at lowball price = win Keep the house = lose Sorry, it might be your world but not mine.
And you must be the wisest and unluckiest person here - cos so many of your predictions have gone in the opposite direction!
On a more serious note, we all know your agenda of thinking your postings on this forum will somehow cause prices to crash. And how you hitch a ride on any bandwagon which goes in that direction. I have heard it before. I have debated you before. And I have come to the conclusion I have nothing to learn from you. Go wriggle and squirm in another thread.
Trojan - it's well known that the average time on the market for houses personally sold by RE agents v normal people is about double. That is because they know that if the house is for sale for a long time you will eventually get your price. You were right not to sell at auction if you weren't happy with the price. The people looking to buy now compared to the short auction window will be at least 50% different and, as you've found out, may well be prepared to pay more than the failed auction top price. By the way I just made up the 50% different people in 4 weeks stat. Someone may be able to help with that (eg Peter Fraser).

Thanks barns. This is the first property we are selling and it was interesting finding new buyers are willing to pay more after the auction.
I put trolls and time wasters on my ignore list so if I don't respond to you, you are probably on it ....

oh so that is the source of your expertise in "negotiations in buying and selling houses"

Good point. Thanks for the reminder. Egotistical, self-proclaimed financial genius' are a dime a dozen.

I think I have stated many times. I'm not listening to the free advice here - I weigh up my own options and make up my own mind.
So you are here only to show off your "wealth" and expertise in "negotiations in buying and selling houses"? Sounds like egoism and narcissism are your only agendas here.
Trojan, one thing I have appreciated in this thread is you putting your position out there for all to see. For me, it's an insight into the mind of a vendor in this market.
So boom, bust or stagnation aside, coming into mid-spring what's the news? Off the market or sold?

No problems - its a shame the trolls find it irresistible to ... well troll. Glad you found it useful.
We could not come to an agreement in the conditions with the other buyer. They had sold their previous home and wanted a ridiculously short settlement period so they could settle on the same day. That would not have given us enough time to move and thus we rejected their offer based on that.
We were also getting sick of cleaning up the house every week for inspection so we decided to take it off the market for the time being. So I get to sleep in on Saturdays again
In regards to building our new home, haven't decided what to do yet but alternatives include: Sell house later and build later Keep both houses and wife go back to work when the kids are old enough to go to school - then borrow and build Be content with our 3 bedroom house and move my home office to the garage (I only have 2 kids)
I put trolls and time wasters on my ignore list so if I don't respond to you, you are probably on it ....
For the record, we still live in the same house. All the houses in our suburb are selling for over $1mil now and that would be our estimation of what ours is worth now. Glad we didn't sell in 2011.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
