Answer

Hi Marie. I am a little confused, where does the sub division bit come into the equation? You know yourself it is the upper end of the market suffering. Your home does sound as if it comes into the 'normal' category. Not a reno, not the latest show home either, the normal home is the hardest to sell when the market gets tough. If you are in a forced sale situation - all you can do is meet the market on price as spending money will not be an option. If you are really stuck email me direct via www.andrewwinter.com.au, as we do operate a consulatncy service. Andrew Winter Property Expert
