We had the new house in the bag. Our house we own on the Northside sold. We put our house we own in the Western Suburbs on the market (to ease the mortgage pain). Our shares were ready to be sold just as soon as the market went up a little.
Someone came along and bettered the offer on the house I'd fallen in love with. Two choices - give up the dream or go unconditional. Thankfully my more level-headed, less emotionally driven other half insisted we could not afford to run the risk of buying a house before the other one went unconditional. Chances are we've lost the house. Work is stressful. The kids are 'challenging'. My dream home that had that wow factor that was shared by all my friends..... gone in the blink of an eye. It could still work out. But right now I am numb - and cranky at myself for allowing this whole thing to become such an emotionally driven event. I mean it's just a house right? Right? Except it felt like 'home' already and it wasn't even mine. :(
oh bummer hun, I'm so sorry. How could you not be emotional? I would be too!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you xo
That sucks! I'm sorry and of course you feel emotional about it, especially after all the stress you've had to even make an offer in the first place.
ReplyDeleteBugger. I hope something even better comes along...
ReplyDeleteNooo - that's such bad news about the house.
ReplyDeleteIs 2008 over yet?
oh noooo... i bet the people who do get it find out there's something really horrible wrong with it like someone got murdered there or it's right next door to a pedaphile. yay - you escaped living in the pedaphile house! (there's always a silver lining even if you have to make shit up).
