I must be house "unlucky".

I keep losing all the homes I want!!!

1) The first home I lost, out in the "semi-country" by that I mean it was country BUT a neighborhood in the country (BTW just found out the well water would not be an issue as city is taking over THIS YEAR). Anyway this house was on the market for 7 months and NOT one person even looked at it. I finally look at it, and the same week they get 4 other offers. Realtor was acting a bit shady, so we lost it.

2) In the city, huge house but very plain outside. I still wanted it. It had a basement. This house was on the market for a YEAR with no offers. Lots of views, no offers. I make my offer, come to a verbal agreement.... and someone comes in and buys it from under me. I am still bitter as heck about this one.

Looking back, my realtor really did not protect me here, she should have been more aggressive in looking out for ME.

3) I go to an open house this Sunday. Great part of town. The house ... to drool for. New on the market. Not as big as house 2 and no basement but OMG... drool. Today I call the woman who had the open house to make my offer. Only to find out that at 9AM they already got an offer. Now I am waiting, to see if the broker already submitted the offer. If he did not, they can submit both offers. If he did, I am too late.

Update.... Yep, sadly home 3 is gone. Lost another one.
