House hasn't sold

Well, we are back from our 2 week cruise around New Zealand, finishing in Aus. What a great trip!!! It has been so hard to get back to some semblance of normalcy. :(
I will post a review and photos soon.

Our house hasn't sold; the agent, in our opinion, didn't have our best interest at heart. To us, it seems he was working for a builder; buy a bargain, fix for 50k, sell in 2 years for 200k profit.
We are not imagining this; all events point EXACTLY to this scenario. So, we will go with a well known local agent in the New Year. We have already decided where to improve our house further, hopefully it won't cost too much as we have family in the building trade, and Rick is a Handyman, and I am very good at holding things up, and fetching! :lol

So, I will post my lengthy review of our wonderful New Zealand cruise soon.

Still For Sale.

We had another open inspection today, and STILL no offers on our house. :( So, we aren't having any more opens for a while, just inspect by appointment only; and now we will concentrate on getting ready for our Volendam New Zealand cruise, which is not far away. It felt like it would never come, as we booked this cruise nearly 2 years ago.

I think once all this financial turmoil settles down a bit, our house will sell. The thing that is most worrying is if we fall into a recession we are likely to be stuck here for a few more years, and our dream of travelling around Australia might not eventuate. We are not alone of course; many more aspiring Grey Nomads are in the same situation. Not to mention all the people who might lose their jobs if things get worse.
I suppose one good thing could come of a recession; people will learn to be more frugal, and maybe help each other more.

Well, that's my little rant for today. Have a safe day, and good health to you all.
