Sold House At A Good Price Despite Poor Market Outlook
We purchased an older resale flat a few years ago at a premium price. We also spent a significant sum on renovations as we were very excited about building our perfect first home at the time.
Recently, we decided to move, but the market outlook wasn’t favourable. Experienced property agents advised us that we had missed the “golden period” during Covid and suggested we lower our expectations and prepare to incur a loss.
Nevertheless, we continued praying and trusting the Lord, believing that He was in control and would turn things in our favour.
We eventually engaged an agent with whom we felt at peace, and he helped us list our property above our “break-even” price to allow room for negotiation.
By God’s grace, there was an overwhelming response, and our agent organised a two-day open house over the weekend for all interested parties. That was the first weekend of January 2024, when we had prepared our three prayer requests.
Needless to say, both my wife and I had a shared prayer request asking God to help us sell our property. My wife even prayed for a target price that was above our listed price.
That Sunday evening, our agent informed us that there had been 55 viewings over the two days and 13 offers in total, one of which exceeded the target price my wife had prayed for!
Eventually, we sold our home at an excellent price and were not short-changed. This can only be God! Praise the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness!
