Well we decided that the house we liked was not for us
We took another look tonight and brought along some family members. Just wasn't right for us...but this was a great learning experience!
ETA...Forgot to add... A HUGE thank you to everyone for your help!

Re: Well we decided that the house we liked was not for us
don't worry tomorrow you will feel a lot better about your decision.
We almost came close to buying a dump.. We were looking at homes alll day and we went to see the last house (the one we almost bought) and when I walked in.. I fell in love with the house. We immediately put an offer in and it was accepted. A week later we went to do the inspection and when I walked in.. it was a different feeling.. all of a sudden the living room was a lot smaller and the bedroom was not as big as I remembered it.. there were a few other things that just was not the same from the first time seeing the house. then after the inspection. we found out the house was a dump! after 2mths of trying to neg. the sales price after inspection.. we had to walk away.
The first day I was a bit sad that we were not moving anymore and that there was nothing to look forward to (house wise).. but the following day I was sooo happy knowing that we made the right choice. 3 weeks later we found the house that was right for us and now we're closing in 2 weeks!
do not settle, this is your investment and you're paying a lot of money and you should be happy with your choice.
p.s. you're lucky that you went back to the house the second time to see it.. we did'nt do that the first time and that's what almost got us in trouble. We knew better with the 2nd house.. we went back 2x before putting a bid on it. good luck.. just remember this is your market!

Re: Well we decided that the house we liked was not for us
This happened to us on the first house we had an accepted offer on. The deal fell through for other reasons, but it was a HUGE relief when it did.
We ultimately found the right place for us, though, and you will, too.

Re: Well we decided that the house we liked was not for us
I think we "liked" 2 houses before we actually bought this one. My father opened our eyes about the other two houses and made us realize those houses really weren't for us.
Family members have great insight.

Our agent was pi$sed too...but whatever, we're the ones that have to pay that mortgage. Make sure you get the house YOU like.
Maybe you should switch agents then...

We were not dedicated to her..We are working with a few. Trying to find the right one for us. I actually saw the agent apologizing to the seller about our family members and starting rolling her eyes...I was not happy

Yeah....I would drop that agent immediately. I know the agent is working with you but she is getting paid by the seller.
Not nice.
