House hunting is not fun...

I thought it would be. It's not. At first it was, but then you are up late at night with bloodshot eyes looking at house after house. You get discouraged thinking you will never find "the one". You finally do only to find out the next day that someone else beat you to it. This happened to us twice.

We did bid on a house and were supposed to receive our notice to correct contract back from the sellers today, didn't happen. We are not in love with the house and are completely fine walking away from it. I only "like" this house. I think the sellers think we are in love with it and that we won't walk away. They are sorely mistaken.

DH and I were planning on putting in an offer on another house we previously had on our list. It's a beautiful house but I'm not really happy with the backyard. I always wanted my kids to have as huge as a yard that I grew up with. This yard is not it. I keep going back and forth between wanting it and not. Here I am at 1am looking at houses because I want to make sure I'm making the right choice. Forty minutes into my search on realtor.com I come across "it". The first house that DH and I absolutely LOVED. I loved everything about it. We found out the next morning that it was already under contract. I was crushed. It was automatically deleted off my saved list so I assumed it was gone but I stumbled upon the listing tonight. I don't know if the contract fell through or if it's a screw up and shouldn't be listed on the site. I'm probably just getting hopes up. I would love it if the sell fell through so we could buy it. I emailed the listing agent and plan on calling first thing in the morning to see if it's available. Here I am thinking, maybe the sell on the house we bid on fell through because I was supposed to stumble back across this house to get it. I checked other sites and it's not pulling it, it was probably just a fluke or an evil way to torture me.

I'm so getting my hopes up....
