Last night, my wife and I found a beautiful house. It's perfect for us. Large living room, kitchen and master bedroom, 3 rooms, 1.1 baths, .73 acres, 2 car garage... everything we wanted was here. We planned on bidding tonight on it, after receiving a great offer on our condo last night as well.

I got an email from my agent this morning:
I have really bad news, the agent for the house just called and said the sellers are withdrawing their house and waiting a year. Apparently they want to build, and it will cost more than they thought.

what. the. fsk. :|
 
Tough. So very sorry. Keep looking, you'll find something else. IT's a very tough market these days. We sold our home in Florida in 6 minutes, with no sign and no realtor, and we got above market value and asking price.

AGain, Sorry.
 
That sucks dude. Its a sellers market right now unfortunately so its tough going if you're buying.

But I have to ask...what exactly is 0.1 of a bath? Half a urinal?
 
I havent told my wife yet, she's going to be crushed. I was so glad we didnt get the first one we bid on when I saw this place... now, I wish we didnt see this place.

It's a half bath. Why they dont say 1.5 baths, I dont know. 😉 so it has a toilet and a sink.
 
He's probably used to looking at listings where they tell you how many full baths and how many half baths, thus the 1 and 1.
 
Now that I'm thinking about it more, these people put their house on the market before they even started building their house? That seems fishy to me. ARGH. Of course, I'm very bitter right now.
 
Just wait until the interest rates start increasing.

It's going to go from a sellers market to a buyers market in a couple of years.

what he means is that there will be a surplus of available houses if the interest rates go up.

Well their excuse is that it's going to be too expensive. I would think people would plan first to build and find out pricing, then go from there.

Well, there are alot of unknown costs to the first time builder. We toyed with the idea of building but then as we began to discover the time/costs, we decided it was better for us to buy pre-built. We got a nice home that was brand new. We could have gotten about an extra 1k square feet and an acre of dirt had we built. We didn't have the time or the patience for that despite the added benefits.
 
I bought a townhouse after 3mos hunting. Next week closing. Stressful for sure. Making things even worse is my lawyer. I feel I got ripped off by these lousy bastards. I had to keep calling them to remind them to do the things that they're supposed to do. I didn't call for 2 weeks, and my stuff was just laying there.

Yeah, thats true. I just hate getting my hopes up and have them crashed for no good reason other than the seller changed their mind. It almost happend with my condo. A week prior to closing, the seller's lawyer informed my lawyer that they had decided not to sell after all. After fuming for a day, we found out that the seller's WIFE had decided that she wanted to stay and not move, and didnt discuss it with her husband at all... good thing the husband smacked some sense into that b!tch or I wouldve sued their arses for expenses.
