I put in an offer on a house on Sunday, and got my hopes way too high because I was actually able to submit a really competitive offer… Spent the first half of the week dreaming about the things I’d do first, what I want to change, how I would do it, spent hours watching DIY videos… Then I found out on Wednesday morning that I was still outbid, so that dampened my spirits a little bit. Trying to stay positive, I don’t NEED to buy a house, and honestly it’s probably a really bad decision with the way the market is, and the high interest rates, but I am SO tired of renting and not being able to make my space exactly what I want it to be (and not having a driveway), and have serious FOMO about the market getting even worse and slipping further out of reach.
It’s already been passed over lol. It was a highest/best so there’s no counter-bidding. I was told that I was the #2 offer, so in the extremely unlikely event the buyer’s financing falls through or something, then I would have another chance, but I’m not getting my hopes up this time.
No worries, it’s alright. This is far from the first, and won’t be the last time this happens… I live in the greater Boston area so the market is stupid silly.

Good luck with the offer!

Damn, sorry I misread your first comment, I hope there was still some hope… Sorry to hear
