ok, so M and I have found another house we’re probably going to make an offer on. To date, we’ve seen around 21 houses (!) in the past month, and the first two we liked didn’t work out. But there’s another that we saw Friday evening that we like enough to go back and look at more closely.

We’re meeting our realtor again on Monday (Memorial Day) to scrutinize the house, take oodles of photos, and potentially make an offer. Our realtor asked the listing agent if he had any pending offers on the house, and currently there are none, yay! I got so excited about the last house, only to be crushed when we found out it was under contract. So I am very hopeful about this one but am trying to remain optimistic AND realistic at the same time.
