House hunting is frying my brain. We have seen about a dozen houses so far. Today we found one that was fantastic–new/upgraded everything, it just needs a privacy fence installed in the backyard. But the rooms were spacious and the appliances were new and the paint was fresh and we decided to make an offer, only to learn that the seller has an offer pending and it’s basically a “done deal.” They’re just waiting for the home inspection to be done.

I was CRUSHED. I loved everything about that house…:( The realtor is going to let us know if the other deal falls through, but I really don’t want to overpay for that house and the other offer is within the price range for that area. I know I’ll just regret it later if we overbid and it won’t be worth it.

I know there are other fish in the sea, so to speak, but man. This is tough. So we’re still looking. I hope we can find a house soon because I find the whole process really, really discouraging.
