Buying a house ****ing sucks.
My wife and I are trying to buy a house. We've looked at several. Seven so far to be exact. We have put in offers on five. The last one we offered 5,000 dollars over their asking price. We still don't have a house.
What. The. ****? This is truly an awful experience. Has anyone else ever had to deal with this kind of nightmare? |

Fugly street view. Does everything look like that? The one across the street looks like my starter, (what others were calling a dump last week.) Anderson real wood windows? Nice. I upgraded the glass packages on the side that the sun bore down on. Great windows! Kitchen only a mother could love. Big yes! Island? Formica? T+G doors? Is that a school next door? Me like. Sitting room off Master. Please tell me that's NOT where the kids hang.. You're ****ed. Mine was a floor down and the other side of the house. Where you're fireplace is. I like it for less than/= $200K even if it's Omaha. Lived there in late 70's college... Lot's of room, Kitchen redo cheap (Doors) with island?? Island w/plumbing/ electricity???? Countertops are easy. I like high $$$ Formica vs granite or quartz but that's me. Formica shows sings of wear/ I'm ready for new ones If SO's a baker an island with stone is a plus, refrigd stone = bonus Explain the bottom of the door? Is that a step down from the entry into a family room?

Heh, I've always bought houses for 5%-10% less than asking price.

Tried it. Currently on a lease that ends July 1st. Last house wanted to close June 28th (perfect for us). And no avail. Family selling it was even friends with my wife in high school.

We got lucky though. The buyer of our house looked at our house after a month on the market and loved it. It helped that her parents lived two houses away. We then made an offer on our current house same day. Closed on our old house, walked across the street and closed on our current home. We loaded everything into a Uhaul and several truck beds in one day. Unloaded the next. I don’t want anything to do with doing that again. |

If you don’t mind me asking, where are you located? We moved to KC last year with the intent of renting for two years before buying so we could research school districts and such. I had heard the market had cooled and there was actually surplus locally.

I've also tried the surrounding area small towns like Perry, Eudora, McClouth ect ect. Every house we offer on has 4-8 other offers coming in as well. Seems like we have to wait in a line just to view one. Several occasions there has been someone looking at a house right before or after we look at it. It's insane. My realtor said that she has been doing this for 20 years, the worst luck she has had was 0/2 and her client got a house on the 3rd try. We are now 0/5. Probably just going to give up and rent again |
