I put in an offer on a house on Sunday, and got my hopes way too high because I was actually able to submit a really competitive offer... Spent the first half of the week dreaming about the things I'd do first, what I want to change, how I would do it, spent hours watching DIY videos... Then I found out on Wednesday morning that I was still outbid, so that dampened my spirits a little bit. Trying to stay positive, I don't NEED to buy a house, and honestly it's probably a really bad decision with the way the market is, and the high interest rates, but I am SO tired of renting and not being able to make my space exactly what I want it to be (and not having a driveway), and have serious FOMO about the market getting even worse and slipping further out of reach.
Good luck with the offer!
It's already been passed over lol. It was a highest/best so there's no counter-bidding. I was told that I was the #2 offer, so in the extremely unlikely event the buyer's financing falls through or something, then I would have another chance, but I'm not getting my hopes up this time.
Damn, sorry I misread your first comment, I hope there was still some hope... Sorry to hear
No worries, it's alright. This is far from the first, and won't be the last time this happens... I live in the greater Boston area so the market is stupid silly.
