The listing agent finally got in contact with my realtor about the condo. There are already three offers on it and there’s a bidding war going on, which means I’m out of the running. I’m on a very strict budget and the price has already gone above my maximum, which means I have to start looking again. Oops!
I’m going to take Wednesday afternoon off from work to go out with my realtor to look at some new places. I’m a little disappointed, of course, but not upset. I’m not surprised that this happened, and as I said earlier I’m not going to actually believe any of this is happening until I’m actually at a closing signing paperwork.
Something else will come up, or it won’t. Either way, I’ve gotten a much better idea of how this whole process works and just how far my money can go. If I don’t end up in a condo I can always get a bigger apartment and keep saving for another two or three years until I’m really in a good position to buy a place without quite so many financial restrictions. It’s all good.
I hope everyone is doing well!
