Fourth times a charm?

The house I previously talked about IS back for sale. Something happened and the old contract fell through. We are placing a bid on it tomorrow, fingers crossed.

When we started house hunting I didn't realize I would be changing my mind about the houses so much.

The first house was very nice with a great price but it was a short sale. They wanted to change some things on the original contract so we were able to get out of that one for house number two.

House number two I found while browsing zillow. The thing that mainly caught my eye was the huge playset in the yard. The house I wasn't thrilled with. It wasn't that big, unfinished basement, needed new carpet and we counted upgrades we wanted to do-granite countertops, new light fixtures, new faucets, entire house needed painting. We went through the home inspection, appraisal, and were waiting on the signed contract back on the request for repairs. I was laying in bed and had a nagging feeling telling me to go look at houses. That's when I came across house number four. I called in the morning and found out it was still available.

We debated between house number three and four. We went with three because it was newer. We put in our bid. He countered with his full asking price but would pay our closing cost. We countered again. He came back with his full asking price. He would not budge on his price AT ALL. It's a buyers market and that house is not worth what he is asking. Now I know why it's still for sale. He listed it back in January. Good luck stubborn home owner.

Now we are onto house number four. We found this house a few months ago. We did the bad thing and talked about it all night and fell in love with it. We found out the next morning it was under contract. I was so upset but just figured it wasn't meant to be ours. We are now in the running for it. As of today there were no other offers on it. They have until Tuesday 11am MST to let us know.
