Two years ago we had our house appraised for a valuation. We were just curious as to how much we could possibly get for our house that has been 6 years old. We were somewhat disappointed about the value we could get and left it at that. Fast forward two years forward, this agent approaches us again, with the market still increasing from the initial appraisal, we decided to try again. This time he says he can get us what we were after and more. He convinces us to try and bring people through and see if there is any interest. We agree and over the next couple of weeks several interested buyers go through and are impressed, but some are either turned off because of the close vicinity to the main road or the lack of room for a pool. By this time a few of the neighbours are moving out of the estate and market is hot.
A while later we got interest from a buyer from North Queensland who is looking to move to Brisbane in a couple of years, but works in North Queensland. He places an offer and we counter-sign. Immediately we can't believe that it is happening. So we ended up looking for a place to buy just in case an offer comes up. We find some vacant land in a great pocket of our suburb, we put in an offer having spoken to the agent about the ballpark figure. After weeks of negotiation we lost our offer to purchase the land. The house sale goes through, and we are forced to find a rental to live as an in between places of residence. We were disappointed about the loss of opportunity to build on the vacant block that was available. We had to move on and be patient and wait it out until we found something that had potential....
