I mentioned we were going to meet with the realtor on the house I so dearly loved to ask more questions, and then put in an offer.  This appointment was set for 4:00 yesterday afternoon, at 2:00 I got a phone call from our realtor stating that another couple put an offer in on the house and that we would have till 7:00 PM to place an offer in, she also told us that the other couple who had already placed an offer in, that her realtor was going to call them back to let them know that we to were placing an offer ( giving them a chance to up their bid) well my friends, We lost the bid, but it's ok, after walking through the house again, it was a bit small and we noticed that all of the vents in the house had no duct work, meaning that the heat/air conditioning would have to heat or cool the crawl space which is all thats under the house and then it is pressurized gravity fed through the rest of the house.... so these were some things we learned during our last walk through that we would have replaced once moved in, also a new water softener.. so we went in with what we felt was the best we could offer for that house based on what that house could offer us and we lost, so although I loved the new HGTV touch and cute charm that house had our search must go on....
