ignorance may be bliss

A few months ago ryan planted the seed about buying a house. of course we would like to buy a house, but i feel the house we can afford right now is not the range of houses i want, and in less than 2 years our income will double. but, he began looking & sending me links. so finally, i began looking too. we have found a couple we like, and i found a house i really liked. this one: http://www.coldwellbanker.com/servlet/PropertyListing?action=detail&ComColdwellbankerDataProperty_id=13500477&page=property&brand=CB
we went to drive by and look at it today. the property is gorgeous, the house is huge for the price, and its basically move in ready. but, we called & i guess an offer is already in, and they and the bank are going back and forth (the broker said for 37 days so far, which seems quite long for a price to be agreed upon). so now we found this house that is great, and we probably will not get it.
i wish i never began looking at houses at all, because i see this happening numerous times before we can buy the one we want: finding a great house and location, and watching others buy it. it's very frustrating, not to mention heartbreaking.

aww honey don't get so down about it. Once you start looking more seriously you'll be in a place where you're the one making the offer before other people get to it. At least you're not paying 4 times as much for a house that's half the size and in a crappy location like we're going to be :)
