House update... :(

CCO2012 · October 2011

So, as hard as the mortgage broker has been working with us on figuring out how much we can spend etc, he has not been listening very well to out request... ANNOYING!

So, I finally got al the answers I needed today and then we found out another contract has been submitted on the house. We are waiting to see how things pan out, and crossing our fingers that we get another chance.

Anyways, I pretty aggravated with the whole lending system right now and pretty upset with the situation as a whole... Lolcats would be appreciated!

Awww, sorry CCO. If it doesn't pan out, I think yoiu just have to tell yourself that you weren't meant to have that house and things will work out when you do find the right one.

I suck at finding lolcats that haven't been posted a gazillion times already.

Aw, I'm sorry

House hunting is really hard! Hopefully you get another chance. If not, I'm sure there is another house out there meant for you!

Thanks guys, we've been saying that although we love this house and can see living there for 10+ years, if it doesn't work out it wasn't meant to be. It just sting more than I expected

It's so easy to get your heart set on a home...way faster than you think! I had all of my financing in order before I even started looking at properties...and I still lost 2 because I was outbid. The home buying process can be heartbreaking at times. My mom gave me the "wasn't meant to be" advice and she was so right. I ended up getting place #3 and it's the best of them all. Try to have patience and just know that although it may take time, it will all work out the way it's supposed to!

This is why I always tell people to get their preapproval and everything in order BEFORE looking at houses. Also, you should NOT get attached to any house until you have the keys. You need to approach buying a house from a logical standpoint, not an emotional one. Emotional attachments can lead to bad financial decisions, or taking on more than you can handle in terms of what needs to be fixed. Even once an offer is accepted, things can go wrong. Take this as your first lesson in buying a house and continue on your journey.

We were house hunting for over a year before we got our current house. We had two previous offers accepted and they both didn't work out for different reasons. Now, we are in an adorable house and I love our neighbors. We really lucked out on one of the houses because that street has since gone to crap due to several short sales and a couple of foreclosures.

If it doesn't come through, just think about how much more awesome the house you're meant to be in will be!!

We went through the pre approval first. looked at seriously 10+ houses loved this one house but it just didn't go through I was sad BUT later on we came across the current place and it has been terrific. If this house doesn't work out for you it's because the right one is waiting for you. Good luck.

You'll end up with the house that's RIGHT for you. It sucks right now, but it is a good idea to be logical. It'll happen, and you'll LOVE the house you end up with.
