This is so disheartening and I feel so bad for even bothering our real estate agent to take us out to see new houses every week. How many houses did you all see before finding the right one?

55 open houses. 6 bids.

Don’t feel bad about your agent. Finding you a house is their job. You are unlikely to be their most annoying client.

GL!

We probably looked at like 40 or 50. But they weren't all in the neighborhood we said we wanted. Ultimately we made a lowball offer on my dream house. They were offended and refused it. Didn't counter. But their realtor had told mine they HAD to move so we just waited. They lowered the price twice, and then we lowballed them again. They were so upset they basically HAD to take our lower offer that they had the washer, dryer and fridge taken out and thrown away, and they ripped out all the blooming flowers.

20 houses seems like a lot, but it really isn’t. That could be a couple of weekends. Keep strong, OP, your house is out there.

I’ve seen at least 50 over the past few years and been outbid on maybe ten in the last year.

I’m in the same situation. Actually had the highest bid on one but the seller sold it to a family friend at a lower price. Ugh.

Until your real estate agent absolutely hates you, you have not bid on enough houses, my friend.

Seriously. Your interests are not the same. Look for houses on your own without bothering them, and rope them in at the last minute for bids. It does not matter how long it takes, this is a huge commitment for YOU. Not the agent.

I saw 27, bid on three and lost, and finally went the new construction route, and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
