"So close, so close, and yet so far..."
or
"Just being considered is flattery enough..."
Why, you ask?
Last weekend, we had multiple showings on our home.
Lots and lots of showings.
Some of which were repeat customers trying to decide between our house and another.
They decided on giving an offer to the other.
I was so disappointed.
I thought for sure that last weekend was it, the one, our time, our big chance!
It wasn't.
So, I have felt all week as if I am starting over.
Logically, I realize that I am really not starting over, nothing has changed, nothing did change.
I just had already switched gears in my mind.
Our Realtor, trying to say all of the right things; told me how much they loved our home...and the treats!
Hmmm..., Ashton's theory of the repeat offenders buyers, I mean tasters, seems to be holding some ground.
The Realtor then let me know that if something fell through while they were working on the offer for the other home that they would be back...
Well, in this market, and the other home being listed for nearly a year, I don't think they will be coming back.
So close...
Sorry Mar, I know it's hard keeping the house in showroom condition all the time (it does look awesome though!). I guess it's just not meant to be yet. I understand what you mean by switching gears though. I was all excited about my SCHEDULED c-section date, and felt that was the day baby Frisbie was SUPPOSED to be born! Then they rescheduled me, and now I feel like he's coming on the wrong day! Ha ha. Whenever he gets here will be the best day, and I'm sure the same stands true for your offer. The moon and starts have to align just right!!!

Darn- It's hard to imagine that that gorgeous home isn't perfect for someone else.
The wait is tough. When we sold, I always felt like our homes ought to just slide off the market because they were so cute, or so well-priced, or so nicely situated. It just doesn't make sense! ugh

You'll get 'em next time! (I hope.) I'm sorry that things aren't working out!

When I have a bummer of a day (like last weekend), I find the scrubbing bubbles and switch places with the hairspray.
Then the fireworks start!
Love you Mar!
