in the last sixteen hours:
i found an amazing house. i wanted it. i was shocked i could sort of afford it. i love the neighbourhood. the house was not on a main street with a busline like almost everything else i've seen.

i told my realtor, she said she'd call in the morning about it (it was late by then). i emailed everyone and showed everyone the flyer with the picture of the pagoda-like old portland house which would soon be mine.

this morning my realtor told me the house already had four offers and the owners were deciding by noon. if i wanted to make an offer it would have to be without seeing the house and a "strong" offer (meaning probably more money than i'm pre-approved for). and that was that. so i went into the back warehouse at work, thought about it, realized the owners weren't even going to consider an offer coming in this late when all i had to offer was 3,000 more than the asking price, and cried.

i'll find something. and now i know what neighbourhood i want to buy in.

  1. Oh! So frustrating! It seems like you are so close, though, which I'm sure just adds to the frustration, but it's so exciting at the same time. For me, at least.
