Stepping a toe into the light

Hey Julia,
I agree...dont tell him where you are moving to (why does he want to know that??) but try and stall him to late October and you are back from your hols. Its really a bad time to sell isnt it, although, looks like the market could get worse, so who knows.

Interesting he doesnt say that...IMO, you could put the house up for sale and it still wont sell (i've had a flat on the market for over a year and dropped it 50k in all and still no takers).. so unless you're prepared to put it on rock bottom, I'd be surprised if it sold in the present market? How do you feel about that, as you would presumably have to stay living there? Alhtough I think you said one option was to rent the house out, which seems like a good option to me, in this market.

As to his email... I could see it was warmer and more friendly and he carefully reflected back to you all the points you made (puppies, house, video cancel thing, white phone, weather).. kind of wierd in fact that he did do that. Makes me wonder why, or perhaps he took a while to write it, but I have no idea why he would do that, perhaps he is a concientious guy, or was just being polite?

I wouldnt even think about equity yet, until you have an offer! And that could be months away.

sorry that he continues to be friendly, but in a not giving you very much kind of way (as he didnt volunteer anything new in his email?)
