HOUSE-HUNTING
So we went back to Waterloo this past weekend to look at more houses. After re-evaluating our priorities, we narrowed down our locations and price range. Surprisingly we saw 4 houses that fit our list. We went back the same day for second viewing of 2 houses and there was one in particular that we couldn't stop thinking about. So we met up with my aunt (the agent) on Monday night and set up a third viewing for Wednesday. We saw it with Alex's parents and all agreed it was a good house. We tried to low-ball and placed an offer $24K less than asking. They refused to go less than $5K of asking. We tried again at $15K less than asking last night, this time they just ignored us. Dang!
So we spent last night going over our options. We love the location but the house itself doesn't justify the asking price. So we're going to wait a bit. It's only been on the market for a little more than a month and already dropped $10K from their original price. We're hoping everyone else shopping for a house agree that they're overpriced and won't be interested either. In the meantime, I will be on MLS every day, possibly several times a day, looking to see what else has popped up or if someone bought this particular house.
I was warned not to fall in love with a place. Darn it! I feel like a girl who has a crush and just got the feeling that the guy's not interested. Now I have to keep going over all the things that are wrong with the guy to convince myself he's actually not that great to begin with. What I REALLY need is just another house to sweep me off my feet to forget about this one. Yes...that's the answer! Where's my rebound house? =P
