[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you are incredibly wealthy, patient, and your realtor is really savvy, it is very difficult/unlikely to get your “dream home.” Most people compromise or settle for less than they’d hoped in some way when buying a home. We just lost a bid on a house we really liked too and we have 2 young kids and are relocating to a different city so we are really anxious to move and get settled soon before the new school year starts. It is so hard to finally find a house—especially when inventory is so low—that you love, make what you think is a very strong offer and then still not get it. I get it. But there is no “dream home” for most people and if there is, you’d have to be very lucky to actually get it.

OP, you fell in love with a house and its possibilities. It's easy to do. Most of us bid on the houses we do because there is something about it that we like or fall in love with. And it can be really frustrating, all the way up to temporary heartbreak, when you lose out on those things. You're also in a particularly vulnerable spot right now, emotionally.

Deep breath. This is the nature of the market you are currently operating in. There will be other houses, and you will find things about them that you like/love just as much. Maybe more. And even if you don't, plenty of us have to *make* our houses into the places we like/love. I'm going through that with a home project right now, and it's so satisfying to see the transformation happening. [/quote]
