You will find another great house. You deserve it.

scuse my french, but...fuck.

Wow. Just, wow.

You'll find what you are looking for. You're free!!!!!!

Take the offer. If you have to move into a rental for a short time you can. Maybe the offer on the other house will fall through giving you another chance.

We are currently living in our #2 choice of our last house hunt. I love it. I drive past that other house and thank god we didn't get it, because this one is so much better. We never would have known about it if the yahoos had finally agreed to fix the roof in #1.

I am so sorry for the angst now. Have faith. Truly, it all turns out in the end.

This sucks, but everything will work out in the end. It really will.

Absolutely take the offer. Bird in the hand and all that. At least with a rental, you will be positioned to move quickly on anything you see. Not an ideal situation at all, but holding onto the crapshack is just going to piss you off and make things worse.

Absolutely take the offer. If you don't find something to buy you can rent for a bit.... Or you can live under my dryer vent. I use a vanilla lavendar fabric softener, so you'll smell all nice and stuff! :)

I didn't even think of this before (I know.... it was like two minutes ago) Can you counter-offer? My parents once had someone buy a house out from under them that way. If you offer more than the first family, the people can take your offer instead.

That really, really sucks. If you can't match/outdo the other people, I would still take the offer on your house - because that's been the biggest headache for you. It won't be ideal living in rented accomodation, but it will give you the flexibility you need for a) when you find your REAL new house or b) the counter offer falls through for your current dream house.

I'm really sorry this has happened to you, and I won't offer any other platitude than that. Get rid of your current home now, and deal with the rest later.

Oh no. I thought they had an agreement with you guys.

P.S. I was thinking the same thing as Amy. Can you counter-offer?

You can counter offer, or you can wait. There may be a reason why you're not suppose to get that house. You could've called me, I always have a phone attatched to me. Hugs, super hugs.

Don't give up selling your house. That's the biggest stumbling block. If you don't take their offer then you may in a week find a house you love and be back at square one again.

It's going to work out. Keep the faith.

Little late in responding, but wanted you to know I was thinking about you guys and hoping for the very best outcome for you. You can rent out my second floor if you need to!

I just know all will be well for you, so don't lose hope yet.

Offer them more!! We lost our first prioerty to a higher bidder, and it was not even that much over.

Also, sell your house. The market is so horrible that you are lucky to sell....sell it.

Find property and build...there are amazing log kits and such ..we are doing a white pine panel home..takes much less time from beginning to move in.

Think of this as an adventure; it will be easier to deal with.
