Despite the strongest market in a decade with property selling faster than ever, there are still homes in Fife that have not sold.

 

If you’ve been on the market for some time, you could be wondering why on earth you don’t have a buyer when demand is so high. With a backdrop of record-breaking prices, selling speeds and low supply, it’s far easier for an agent to make a sale than to fail, so why is your home not under offer? (more…)

Have you ever drunk a smoothie? They’re wonderfully delicious, but it can be challenging to identify each individual flavour when strawberry, spinach, ginger, honey and turmeric are all vying for your attention.

 

House hunting can be a bit like that. Evenings and weekends full of viewings and meeting estate agents can make homes begin to blur as the numbers mount up, and recalling all the different rooms can be an impossible task. (more…)

PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/fife-properties/episodes/FP-TV-EP-50-SMOOTH-MOVES-Eliminate-the-Stress-When-Selling-Your-Home-in-Fife-e15920s

 

Most moves have a lot riding on them, and, if you’re thinking of selling your home, there’s probably a good reason behind it.

 

Perhaps you’re moving in with a partner, expanding your family, relocating for work, thinking about schools, considering downsizing, or simply moving to your ultimate dream location.

They thought they would keep their Fife family home in case they ever moved back to Fife.
