[quote=Anonymous]Not to be a debbie downer, but seeing 50+ houses and getting outbid on so many may mean that you're getting bad advice from your agent, or your expectations are too high. We bought in the peak. Saw 3 houses and won our first bid. Bc I knew my house wasn't just an investment. It was a place to live for 20+ years. So once we found something that checked all the important boxes (Square footage, schools, devoid of major defects), we bid aggresively. Sure, it was a smaller plot of land that we wanted. And it didn't have a front porch. And we probably outbid second place by a wide margin. But that's the name of the game. Find the house that checks the important boxes and then be aggresive. Your realtor needs to help you reduce the list of items which are "must have" (so more houses qualify), and you must be more aggresive in a bid. Tell yourself that next house you want to bid, you will not lose it[/quote]
