Open House: finally someone comes back, and my theory proves to be true...

So, today's inspection was good for 2 reasons. The most important reason was that a couple who came to look at the house last week and who seemed interested came back - and they came back with a set of parents (not sure if they are his or hers).  They are the couple who when I called during the week were positive, but also positive that the price should be $100K lower than what we're asking.

You know, I thought  "maybe we're being greedy "- so after that conversation I did some research and the only houses I could find in this area in the price range that they are looking at have 2 things in common:
1.  On a main road - with NO chance of street parking
and
2.  Have a steep block like our land.

Oh and they're not in Roseville either, they're in neighbouring Chatswood (not sure what difference that makes though, to be honest).

I left out a list of sold properties in our street for the past 12 months to give an indication that I know what the market is doing and I know someone picked one up (I'm just not sure who).  I think I'm going to give my uncle (who used to be a real estate agent) to pick his brains as to what to do if they make an offer that is so low we don't want to consider it...  Everyone else we've asked about price has said they think we're in the ball park (I wonder if there is an Australian equivalent of this slang word - in the cricket ground or rugby field just doesn't sound right... but I digress).

The 2nd good thing that happened today was that 9 people showed up - exactly what I had predicted after the page hits this week.  I haven't been logged on to the Internet at all today so I'm not sure when the 50 hits that happened between 10pm last night and 6pm tonight when I checked arrived.  But I had a phone call today from a woman who wants to come to inspect by appointment tomorrow so that will be the extra 50 accounted for!

So after today's inspection we're at 800 page hits... I guess we'll see if the theory continues to hold as we move onwards...

The sun was shining and we had a good day.  Perhaps we'll get a (reasonable) offer soon?  Who knows!
