Re: How many houses/apts/etc did you look at...
we probably looked at at least 20. Each time I went out with a realtor they showed me a few places at a time.

Re: How many houses/apts/etc did you look at...
We lucked out- we saw two condos and five houses. We put an offer on one of the five houses.
The market here is a pain. All five houses were in the same price range. The house we made the offer on was SO much nicer. Though we only saw those five houses, I had also spent lots and lot of time online, so I knew that this house was a great deal. I did have some anxiety because we had not seen that many houses, but I feel great about it now.
We lucked out in that our house was priced to sell because the owners needed to move. We also lucked out because it fell into our laps fairly fast. Good luck!

Re: How many houses/apts/etc did you look at...
In person we saw 3 co-ops, 1 condo, and about 15 houses.
I also did a lot of research online.

Re: How many houses/apts/etc did you look at...
I lucked out and only saw two coops... the first one was a PIT... absolutely disgusting... so I stopped looking... I figured, if that was what my price range had to offer, I'd better wait and save up some more.
Then exactly one year ago today, my brother called me up and said his coworker was selling her place... and would I like to talk to her?
The rest is history! I saw the place, put in an offer the next day, and 5 LOOONG drawn out months later, closed!

We looked at between 30 and 40. We put bids on two others which we were outbid on and then found the one we are now waiting for our closing date on.
