5 gazumping
= fait de revenir sur une promesse de vente pour accepter une offre plus élevéeEstate agents go around telling people... that the property from which they are hoping to move is incredibly saleable in the present market conditions... What if their present home is snapped up in 20 minutes flat, but they can't find what they want? So they don't put their existing property on the market until they have found what they want - which, with thousands of people doing just the same, could be some time... This encourages gazumping, which is, after all, only the market's way of raising prices to the point where demand meets supply. Hence the silly prices.
