Tim and I went out yesterday once again in search of our first home. We found a great house that I fell in love with and we even had a back up house in case the first one didn't work out. Both of these houses have not been on the market for more than 5 days so we were thinking we might be the first offers in, and we had really strong offers prepared so I was thinking, maybe this is it!! Tim and I were ready to run down to the office and sign the offer and write a check to our realtor at any moment and then, Mitch called. As of this morning, both homes were listed as sale pending. The one I loved had 15 offers already, can you believe it?? I guess we should try to buy an ugly house that has been on the market for 100,000 days. Then we would have better luck. This whole buying a house thing sure sucks. I can't tell you how many houses I've liked a lot and have not been able to sleep because all night I sit in bed and decorate it. I need to stop doing that. This is the first time though that I really feel like we lost a really good home. I could just see us living there and I really hadn't felt that yet and we've looked at a ton of houses. Oh well. Back at the starting gate. Hopefully we find something soon, I'm about ready to pop.
