I can't tell you how it'll affect eBay sales, but I can tell you that despite the value of my house rocketing for the first half of the year, it is now starting to drop and the market is becoming a little unstable.

 

I've been told by 4 different agents now that people are getting cold feet with the uncertainty, so selling your house - particularly this month may be a nightmare! So possibly don't try and move house over the next few months like I am.

 

If we do leave then I was told the expectation was that the market (likely) cool off for some time as people won't want to move while it's clear what would happen financially and, as a result, the value of my house will likely fall. *sad face*

 

If that does happen and my house price falls as a result, it will be the second time that a recession has cost me dearly on my house. *cries*

 

So over the last 6 years my house value has increased £65k, but is expected to lose around £20 - 30k should we leave. *cries again*

 

If we don't leave then I was told that they still expect the market here to cool off and fall sightly, but not as much.

 

Obviously that's just in reference to one particular region of the UK, so whether that would be nation-wide, I couldn't say.

Out of interest, are you selling up and planning on living in a tent for the rest of your days? I'm assuming not and that you are buying another property at the same time as you sell. Why the obsession with house prices when it is primarily a home and not an investment vehicle?
