Jo, thanks for positive advice – greatly appreciated, as are other members’ thoughts. Perhaps I am being premature – don’t they say that selling a house is one of the most stressful things out, apart from a divorce and I can tell you now, that is numero uno! I am listed on realestate.com by my agent and its had about 42 hits so far – what that really means, Im not sure. I think its this rather grubby state government that’s put their rather grubby feet in it (yet again!) This is our future they are playing around with.

Thanks, guys, for your comments. Yes, I did do my homework before choosing an agent, also checked the local market and have my ear to the ground re that. I have done all I can with the house – garden great, decor very nice, flowers, you name it, Ive done it! Dont watch Renovation Rescue for nothing! My agent seems to be doing right things, all except bringing anybody!!!!! Have taken on board advice re possibly dropping price 10K, think you may be right there. Trouble is, I dont want to look as if Im desperate for a sale, because financially I’m not. If people had come and none had been interested, I would have thought I was doing something wrong, but cannot gauge this as nobody’s been!
