[quote=Anonymous]DP, and different houses:

1). Not fast enough.  First time home buyer, first time in a spring market. Didn't call agent until after the open house. By the time I had ducks in a row, it was already under contract. Although, in retrospect, I am glad I didn't get that house.  The prior owner had personally put in a number of unique custom features - but, essentially, what I loved were the finishes (albeit not white marble or anything like that).

2). Outbid (significantly).  But, that time, I got my ducks in a row and moved quickly.  It helped me come to terms with the fact that I was willing to stretch my budget further than I originally thought -- but also that I wasn't willing to stretch so far beyond a certain point just for the dream of a SFH.  So, when the "good enough" townhouse I actually bought came along, I moved quickly and to make a strong offer within my budget -- and thankfully it worked out because I both love the house and feel comfortable with the payments.
