I am trying to sell an investment property in Northern Ireland (Fermanagh holiday home- bought 2003) and it is not shifting.
Is the market in a state of paralysis after the dizzy rises of last year (55%↑) and has yet to settle, or is the paralysis the first stages of a crash with a price drop of 25%+. The house is now listed with 2 agents, it is competitively priced in relation to others in the area has been advertised but has not seen much action. Had a firm offer that got the jitters last minute and pulled out. The property has been reduced £11k already and one estate agent reckons drop another £10k whilst the other agent says I'm mad as the house is well priced as others he has sold at my price but not half as good. Who should I believe? How far London did crash in the late 1980s - was it 25% or more? What should I do? Yield if rented and hard to manage would be less than 3%. Property valued at £260k now £249k. Advice please - on market since mid May and after Halloween market dead til February.?
