$%^!

So despite my earlier post cursing home ownership, we are in fact planning to buy a house after 18 blissful months as renters. We actually fell in love with a house in our neighborhood and made an offer on it this weekend. On the second round of negotiations the sellers got cold feet and decided they didn't want to sell afterall.

We are incredibly disappointed.

And I know everyone says that something better will come along, and it probably will, but right now I'm in that wallowing stage where I prefer to mope around and believe that we just lost the best house that ever existed in our neighborhood and we'll never find anything as amazing.

Bummer. I hate that part about house hunting. We're starting the process and I'm trying to be very careful not to get too attached to anything! Especially if it seems so good. So sorry. :(

bummer. i totally feel your pain. i still yearn after the cape cod we got outbid on 2 plus years ago (ask jeff--he's still hearing about, poor guy.) i know i should get over it and i'm happy were we are, but man, it was just so perfect for us.
