awol, if you have doubts then you should not do it...but, realize, you got too live somewhere, and buying is always cheaper than renting...and, a home is where you are going to raise your family and hopefully build a lot of memories there, so, find a place that you and your wife is going to enjoy, and belly up..so if it is at all affordable, relax and have fun with it...worse case, you sell it in a couple of years, and probably make a small profit from it..or at worse, you walk away...it's only money...

okay, i'll shut up now...

Nothing wrong with whatcha said...why buy a house you aren't going to be happy in? Just push y'self a little harder to make it work!  :wink:

(at least that's what I keep telling myself right now considering the house we want is about 50k more than we wanted to spend & the taxes are double what we pay now) ;D

Awol, it is nerves. Signing something and commiting to the next..did you say 40?...years of your life is a scary step. However, nothing beats walking into YOUR house for the 1st time. It's home and it feels great. You'll be fine.

that's a bummer...don't they have to give you a response within so many days? our sellers were given 24 hours. not sure now how long they'll have to consider our counter counter-offer.  :biggrin:

I think it's supposed to be 24 hrs., but I'm not sure.

not really.  just some contact with the realtor that sort of implies they aren't happy with the offer...

Sounds like it wasn't meant to be...how much was your wife's heart set on it?

No counter-offer even?
