Trying to not get our hopes up

Our meeting with the broker went great, and he said we can more than afford the house we want & housing costs as of now, even without my big girl job-- yay!! So Monday we have another walk-through of the house which both of our parents are going to come for, and, if it goes well, we plan on making an offer!! :-D It's very exciting & scary at the same time!
Our agent also told us that the other house we liked hasn't finished selling. The people have not estimated their costs and may not be able to cover it all, and asked if we might be interested. We said we are, but we don't want to wait about seeing if they are able to scrape enough money together or not. I know if it were us, we would be doing anything we could to get the money since they already "closed" on a price. I asked what it went for, and, the closing price was $105,000, and they were asking $129,000 when we found it listed online... it was originally was listed around $200, 000, in michigan's market they have kept lowering it. As a (possible) buyer, this is good news for me! :) So, lets be hopeful for monday.... it's hard to try to not get excited!!!!
