House Hunting Update

Okay, so just to keep track:

*Fell in love with stucco house in East Point
*Scott, Jon, and David all say it's not the house
*My dad comes down, looks at it, says house needs $40,000 in repairs to be livable, not counting the fence I wanted to replace
*Make self fall out of love with stucco house in East Point
*Look frantically for house while parents are in town, and can tell me when prospective homes are missing things like, oh, say, an air conditioner.
*Find charming brick home. Parental approval granted. I like outside, like inside. Not sure about neighborhood.
*Spend weekend researching neighborhood - decide it is a good place, slowly start letting self fall in love with charming brick home.
*Today, realtor calls - home sold on Saturday.

This is wearing me out.

How frustrating. Maybe next time you find something you should make an offer first, then do the research. You can always back out of an offer...say you think it's haunted or something.

Even if I'd made an offer on Friday when I saw it, the bidding war over it was already underway. So I don't think it would have made any difference. And I figured that waiting 2 days to be sure wouldn't be a problem this time of year.
