almost a homeowner (not ttc related)

owlprofowlprof member
in TTC after 35

My husband and I are in the market for a house and have narrowed it down to a specific neighborhood.  Our realtor called yesterday early afternoon with a house that just came on the market.  We met her an hour later and put in an offer at list price.  We got the phone call this morning that our offer wasn't accepted. 

Boo!  Maybe this is a sign that we should hold off until a couple more (failed) cycles and then buy a 2-1 condo downtown instead of the 3-2 in the northwest part of the city.

    Keep looking, and be persistent!! Lots of luck finding your new home!!

    Wow, I'm sorry your offer wasn't accepted. No counter? They just accepted another? Regardless, the right thing will come along when it's the right time. DH and I are going to be looking at a house today that we saw last week when it listed. Trying to decide if we'll put an offer in. It is stressful. Sometimes, I think we're crazy to be doing this now with everything going on. When it rains it pours!

    Boo indeed.  It's hard to finally find a place you want and then not get it.

    I firmly believe that when it comes to house-buying, some things happen for a reason. I had 2 houses whose offers fell through for various reasons (crooked realtor in the first, crooked bank in the 2nd trying to recoup losses) and as a result we ended up getting a SWEET mother of a deal on our current home, which has treated us well.

    And who knows? Whatever reason they rejected your offer (at list price! WTH is that all about?!?) may still fall through and they'll come crawling back to you guys...

    Did they have another offfer?  Why wouldn't they accept list price?  That sucks donkey toes.  I'm sorry you're dealing with this.  House buying (and house selling) is super stressful.

    Everything happens for a reason - I'm thinking your perfect house is just around the corner....good luck!

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

    I am convinced that there is a better house out there...I'm just so ready to be out of my husband's 1 BR apartment and get all my things out of storage!

    I also really wish that the housing market in Austin wasn't so booming!  This house was listed Saturday around noon.  Our realtor called at 1:15 and we saw the house and made an offer at 2:30.  By that time, five other people had already been there.  Ah well, back to the drawing board!

    Arg!  It took us 14 months to sell our house out in the suburbs!

    Good luck!

    My gosh, so stressful.  We are going through the same thing, we bid twice and fell trhough and we finally got an accepted offer.  We just signed our contract, but I asked my lawyer to hold the contract until I review few things.  And, I have a really annoying seller.....I know at the end we will be very happy to have our own space but it's a lot of work and it's such a big purchase.
