Why do you think you should be owed something. There are four of us and we get by on less than that a year. Think yourself lucky.

The UK market has not slowed, in fact recent reports suggest it is increasing more at the moment (although there is normally more activity in summer). However, there big differences in different areas, with some where property prices are actually going down.

Realistically – two weeks isn’t that long! Its not like we are that short of houses. You should speak to your agents and see what they say, perhaps you havent priced it competatively?

If you are incredibly desparate to move then there will be people who will buy it say they will “guarantee” to buy a property – but I wouldn’t hold out for a good price.

I would be patient to be honest.

JSA is given based on National Insurance contributions, not whether she’s ABLE to work full time, but whether she worked full time prior to having the baby (ie paid enough NI).

(Gosh £18k a year is supposed to support a family of 3? Ha you’d be better off quitting your job! That is truly ridiculous. I am shocked.)

Have you tried the CAB? or failing that could you have a look at finding better paid job?

Comment on If I lose my home to foreclosure, will I have to pay taxes? by Jeanne B

The sale of your home is not the only alternative.

There’s a good chance I can help you, especially if whatever caused your hardship is resolved and you have more than three weeks before the property is going to be sold at foreclosure auction. You can look at staying in your home until the market is better.

It may not be as bad as you think! If you want to stay in your home, that may actually be possible. If you don’t want to stay, I can also help you with the sale by negotiating a “short sale” with the lender, or offering the lender your deed in lieu of foreclosure.

If you will get in touch with me directly with your phone number or email address, I’ll send you some information.

Comment on The Real Estate Market is dead, should I rent my house and take a loss until the market rebounds? by Spencer B

Homes are always selling and the best home for the best price is always getting showings. If it’s that dead for you after 2 months then your priced far enough over your competition that it doesn’t even look good on paper. If you can sell it now and make a profit you should. Take your money elsewhere and get a better return on investment you should do it. Don’t just stick you head in the sand.
Remember when the stock market started going down and everyone held out thinking it was about to go back up? They could of sold and got into a better equity like gold and done just fine. Now it did come back some..but that’s a lot of lost time that money could of been working for their owners.
You likely calculated your price based off area appreciation during the time you held it and locked in on how much you want to make. That isn’t how you calculate value. You have to price it at current market conditions to get a sale.
Now, if your willing to hold your home for 2 years at a $500 dollar month loss, maybe you drop your house that $12,000 dollars before your destroy your house with renters. On the other hand you could wait speculatively hoping the market comes back (it will eventually) or that rents will go up (they are)
Personally, I believe you’d be better off taking what money you made and moving it into a better investment that will actually make you a return over the next couple years.
