I believe in the power of prayer... I'm makign an offer of my perfect house today but my max approved sales price is the minimum the seller's will even look at. A house to me is not something material--it affects my emotions, personality, and my entire life--which is why this is so important to me. My realtor is writing up my offer--please pray that the sellers see my offer is strong and not flakey and accept it. Happy thoughts, luck, and good karma are also accepted

Prayers coming for you. Homes are very important - they are to me, anyway. It's where I go at night, where my best times are held, and where I recharge my batteries.
Best of luck, Dip.

I know you're excited - buying that first home is always such a rush! Here's hoping you get the home of your dreams. But remember this - when one door closes another one opens up that is usually better than the first.

Thanks ladies. I made my offer the second day it was on the market, and I'm already just being held as back-up. They already have offers in for well above their high range. I swear, any time someone says "this is the time to buy" I want to scream. It's so danged difficult!!! I can still hope these higher bidders will flake out, but I'm still trying to search for other things...I have to Thanks for the good wishes!

Keep plugging away, Dip. LIke was said before - you may think this is your 'perfect' house, but something better may come down the pike. Have faith and patience.

Hang in there Dip,
I've been there before when everyone was having bidding wars in Orange County. You have to be right on it the first day the house goes on the market, everything that's been out there for awhile is junk or way over priced. I'm sure it's the same in S.D. I swear I made offers on 5 different places before we finally 'won'. It's very emotionally frustrating and believe me, I feel for you.
Keep looking and trying, eventually you'll get the right one.

Good luck DIP. Will keep you in my prayers. We are putting our house on the market this weekend (first time seller). So, we are now looking for a new home too.
Just remember, the house is just a house, it is what you do with it that makes it a home.

The mantra is a good idea Dip - keep it up. You'll get there when the time and place is right.

Mom: The longer she stays here, the longer I keep my retirement... The longer she stays here, the longer I keep my retirement...LOL! She's fine with me there, and we carpool to work in the morning anyway, so it's convenient.

OK, potentially good news! I let me mom and my realtor look at my saved listings on Friday and they called me and said I shoudl make an offer on one of them, so I did, site unseen. My offer was submitted over the asking price on Saturday. I did get to see the outside of it and peek in the windows and I love it. Well, yesterday, my agent got a call from the listing agent that they like my offer and want to present it to the bank (it's REO by Wells Fargo) and that they need a copy of a deposit check to ESCROW ASAP so they can include it in the presentation to the bank. Yay! My realtor says I have a really good chance, especially considering how quickly they responded, and on a Sunday. The property was in escrow and wnet back on the MLS On 4/28 saying "BOMK pending cancellation of current escrow." Anyway, here's a link to the pics of the place.... keep your fingers crossed!!! http://lendersmustsell.com/property.php?auctionID=L-001&itemID=2580&venueId=&start=0http://lendersmustsell.com/viewPic.php?name=https://www.mlhdocs.com/llc_files/auctions/auctions1/18225789-1.jpg&auctionID=1&itemID=2580
