    Good luck

    Lots of the people who've been buying houses say that the bidding is quite competitive right now and that things often don't work out

    Nonetheless, wishing you luck!

    Let us know what happens!

    I know, my mortgage advisor said 1 in 2 sales fall through at the moment, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up....
    One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!

    Wishing you the best! But if it doesn't work out, just remember that there are many other houses out there, especially now.

    I had my heart set on a house last year at this time, and I got it. I wish I hadn't, though, because it needed/needs so much more work than I was led to believe by the inspection. Despite its constant drain on my energy and bank account, it's slowly coming along. By the time I'm ready to sell, it'll be a true gem. I hope.

    Bit of a drift... but that's an example of why buyers should hire an independent inspector and not rely on the bank's inspector (who's being paid by an entity that has an interest in seeing the deal go through). We've never regretted hiring our independent inspector. We bought the house anyway, but he pointed out a lot of things that the bank's inspector missed.

    Anyway best of luck TB; and Tulip, hoping your dream house comes together sooner than later!

    Thanks, lesson learned. It's not my dream house, but it'll do for now. It's better than renting (I think ).
