Lee and I decided a few weeks ago that we would take the plunge into first time home buying. We (actually Lee) spent many, many months looking at listings online before we decided it was the right time. Our initial inquiry was with the bank for pre-approval, then we set up a meeting with a realtor, finally we went out to look at homes in our price range. I must say that it was very interesting walking into strangers homes. As someone whose job consists of observing people I was fascinated by how different people live. Anyway, after two days of searching we found a lovely 2 bedroom condo. We set up an appointment with the realtor to submit an offer but, I got antsy and we went in earlier than we had originally decided. Then the wait began. So did the dreaming and decorating in my head. It turns out that the anticipation was all for nothing. We got an email from our realtor this afternoon stating that the seller had accepted another offer.
My hopes were up. It's a buyers market and supposed to be much easier to get a nice place. Tonight I'm just sad. I know that God has a plan and that His will is perfect. In spite of this I must deal with my own disappointment. We've seen everything available in our price range in the areas in which we would consider living. Now I guess we continue to pray and re-evaluate if we are willing to move further out from the area we love. And we wait, this time we wait on God to open a window.
