When we decided to sell, in late April, and the market was still buoyant despite the 3 x interest rate hikes by the RBA. Then the Labour Government put into their budget the CGT changes in May and the market came to a complete standstill. Then in early July after 40+ people went through our place, someone drove into our home and caused considerable damage to the home and ensuite. This didn't help matters. We ended up making a loss of 5-6% not to mention stamp duty we paid and extras we added to the place. I think the team were trying to sell the place hard and perhaps we paid too much in the first place. The other problem we had already purchased another place, so we were on our knees to sell. Can't blame this error on R&W. We will close this chapter of our lives and put it down to lesson learned. Overall, R&W were eager to sell our place. But never again would we ever buy before we sold. Lesson learned!
