We found a house we loved. Perfect back yard, not a split level, master bath with walk in closets. I was pretty pumped. It had been on the market long enough to drop $19,000 (and into our price range) with no offers. The week we look at it...two offers on it! So, if we put in an offer, it would be more around their asking price in order to beat out the other people & we're not ok with that. We were seriously considering putting an offer in, but not TODAY! Our realtor called saying our window was closing & put pressure on us to get an offer in. I told him we're not going to make this happen because we want it to happen. We've prayed that the Lord will open and SHUT doors & he shut this one really quick!
We may consider putting in an offer on a different house that needs a lot of work, but we're still praying about it. Lord, you're welcome to shut that one too if it's what you want!! However, we may just lay low and wait until next spring before house hunting again.
It's hard to mentally move out of a house when you've already mentally moved in all of your stuff and decorated! :) I'm very disappointed, but comforted in knowing the Lord made it very clear this wasn't the house for us. I didn't wake up and expect to buy a house today so it coming at me so fast, "now or never" made it an easy "never."
I'll be happy when my posts are no longer about stress and HOUSES!
