[quote=Anonymous]We purchased a house this summer.  It was in our first choice neighborhood, but a little smaller than ideal and needs some renovations upstairs (especially to the bathrooms).  Will need a new roof and furnace within 5 years.

Since we bought it, two new homes have been listed in our neighborhood in the bigger and nicer model that I originally wanted.  Although our realtor had said these models were out of our price range, both are within our price range (at the very top end of it, about 10% more than what we paid).  What's worse is that these homes have new roofs and new systems and require no renovations, so at the end of the day would have ended up costing us the same as our house.

I am trying not to be mad at my realtor, my house, or even myself for not waiting longer or negotiating a lower price.  I know that all that really matters at the end of the day is health and happiness, not materials things.  But it just makes me angry that now I am stuck in a smaller fixer-upper when I could have gotten a perfect, larger home for essentially the same price.

Anyone else dealt with buyer's remorse?  Any words of wisdom here?[/quote]
