[quote=Anonymous]Several different houses:
1- husband was out of town, I tried to put an offer without him seeing the house but he wouldn’t budge (which I understand but because you think I am crazy: there were very few housesMeeting our criteria and that one almost did). Happy we didn’t get it in the end, it was too small and no possibility of expansion 
2- buried oil tanks. DH was afraid of environmental hazard so left contingency on removal of tanks. and it was for sure not going to work as it was already a time when contingencies were a no go (2016…). That one I regretted for a while but in the end it was good, too much maintenance and too far from metro
3- taxes were too high. House had just been reassessed, we thought the taxes would kill our budget and I didn’t understand fully how reassessment worked. So we didn’t bid high enough, taking into account the taxes. It was a beautiful house priced low. In the end we would have been outbid anyway as it went 200k over asking, but if it it had gotten on,y 75/100k over asking I think I would have felt very stupid
4- we ended up getting our house after 6 failed bids total. And it was the right one: right location, wonderful neighbors, charming etc,,

No regrets [/quote]
