[quote=Anonymous]We just got some good financial news that means we can move forward on buying a house this summer.  I've been tracking listings in our target area for a few months now on a near-daily basis, and we've visited some open houses.  We have our budget and target area pretty well narrowed down, and there have been one or two houses that come up about each week within our most narrowly defined parameters of location, budget, house size, etc.

There have definitely been some options where we thought to ourselves, "If we were ready, that would be a good possibility."  But how do we know?  I am guessing that sitting down with a realtor will help, and we're also pretty good about trusting our guts and communicating, but this will be by far the biggest decision we've made as a couple.  We bought a condo together, but that was a much simpler process.  We're planning to live in this house anywhere from ten years until they take us to the nursing home--and we know we will likely have to go without a couple things we'd really like (I wrote a thread awhile back about "which of these options would be most important to you?").

And, of course, there's the possibility that we will bid and lose a few times before all of this is said and done.

For those of you who have bid or bought recently, what gave you the sense that "this is the one"?[/quote]
