On Friday we saw a GREAT house. We loved it. It's in the location we want, it's new, it's in our price range. Perfect. So we made an offer quite a bit over the asking price. They had 3 good offers the day before they had an open house -crazy seller's market! They had an open house, got 25 people interested. At the end of the day, it was between us and another buyer. The sellers were not sure about the FHA loan so we asked our lender to call them and write them a letter. They asked us to pay for the title insurance. Fine. And then they asked us to wave the appraisal contingency. Hell no.
So they said no and went with the other buyer. I feel this appraisal contingency is going to come between us and a house. It's ok... We're so bummed but it's ok. And the sellers and their agents were super nice to us, making sure to reach out to us after they refused our offer. First class all around. We have an amazing real estate agent and a great lender. We're in good hands.
So back to square one. We'll find something good. I am not worried -or I am in denial. Either way, i'm not stressed out about that. I'm stressed about the move and packing and our trip to Europe.
But hey, I'm stressed about good things, so all is good!
Stay tuned for our next adventure in house hunting!

Ahh! I want to see some of these houses you're considering and where they're located!
I'me excited for you guys (even though it's kind of stressful right now). I'm glad you have a good agent and lender!
It's amazing what I've seen happen in our neighborhood in the last two months. Houses have gone on the market for a lot more than they were selling for even 6 months ago, and they're sold within a week or two! Crazy!
Good luck my friend!
