How many times should you view a house...
We saw a house we loved a two months ago and put on two very low bids since we were at the start of our search. Obviously we didn't get the house, but it remained on the market. They've even had an open house (2nd one since it went on the market) with no bids.
We didn't throw a higher number before since we really didn't know the market in that area too well. The more and more we look at houses particularly in that town, the more we love this one and feel we are ready to make a higher bid.
The problem is, we haven't seen the house in two months. We are not going to offer the sellers what they countered, but we figure we may not have to since it sat on the market another two months and it was on for two months before we looked at it.
To make a fair offer we want to see it again....can we? Is it weird since we already bid two months ago? We only saw it twice when we put in the first bid. So if we see it again we'll only see it three times.
TIA! Sorry for the storybook!

I don't see anything wrong with you looking at the house again. This is a big decision that you guys are making and a big purchase. I would go see it again.

Re: How many times should you view a house...
Ditto!!! You are buying an extremely expensive item. You are allowed to see it as many times as you have to or need to or want to.

Re: How many times should you view a house...
This is probably the biggest purchase you will ever make in your life so I would look again and again if you wanted to just to be sure

Definitely look at it again. Being that the house hasn't sold, I'm sure they would welcome you back.

Re: How many times should you view a house...
When we bought our 1st home here in NY we went to see it 3 times before making an offer. I thought the previous home owner was going to hate us, but it is not unusual to look at a house more than once. Just think, it is one of the biggest purchases you will ever make, so you want to be sure about it. I am selling my home now and I have seen a few couples come back for 2nd viewings. I am totally cool with it, because I know how stressful and nerve racking buying a home can be. So, my advice is GO SEE IT AGIAN!

i don't think there is anything wrong with it. It shows the buyers you're interested obviously, but they knew that when you made your first offer.
Besides, you're going be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars...you should be able to look a million times if you want without being questioned.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to look again. Sometimes a seller can not go below a certain amount because they might have a very high mortgage to pay off. You can always go back with something a little higher.
