Hi Shell,
Good luck!! I'm sorry that something that shoulda been all fun turned out to be stressful, I hate it when that happens!
Hopefully you'll be able to get everything sorted out soon and find a condo that you just fall in love with!
I can't wait to buy somewhere, I am really excited about decorating. I have even cut out pictures of stuff I like and am keeping it so when we finally do decorate, I am all ready!!
Sending happy house hunting thoughts your way!

Our house, a small 3 bed terraced, ex-council house, with no view, etc was $242,000!
We live in the same house! Ours is end of terrace in a culdesac with a patch of grass out the front and a patio out the back..if I remember right you have a garden?
Our location is excellent though, just under three miles from the city centre, so you have to make sacrifices to get that. As for the view...I can see the house across the road from my house, the one with the Laurel and Hardy sculpture in the window

Good luck with house hunting Shell. The cost of housing is way too high and hubby and I keep waiting for the bubble to burst.
Location plays a hugh role in how much your house will cost. Cost of living in my area is still reasonable. We bought our house three years ago for $108,000.00. Our home is 2100 square feet, the inside was gutted and redone. I have an awesome kitchen and both bathrooms have been remolded. We have a double deck off the back of our house and a three car gargage. I have added bushes and flowers every year, because the outside was never touched.
I hate to live in CA and have to deal with buying a starter house. I really feel for you two and hope you can find something afforable.

I'm so on edge right now... I already did not sleep last night and was up two time to vomit  I'm home sick today and got an email from our Agent about a new listing. I just went to look at the place and gave Shane the go ahead to put in an offer...it has only been on the market 2 days...crossing fingers it will not turn into a bidding war...cuz if it does... we will lose
WISH US LUCK.... (and my tummy too)

Hi Shell,
I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you that all goes well with the condo.. Is this the one in the same area that you are in now?
I am so sorry that you aren't feeling well!! Do you think your tummy is reacting to all the stress of the condo looking/buying or do you think it is a bug or something? I really hope it goes away, try and have a nice relaxing day off!
You poor thing, let us know what happens with the condo!
**hugs**

I know how hard it is. My best friend just bought a house and she bought it so fast there wasn't a sale sign on the front lawn. They put an offer in and WHEW! they took it! They were lucky, cause another offer came in above theirs, but it was conditional on the sale of a house, and their offer had no conditions. My brother and girlfriend are desperately trying to buy an apartment in Scotland and are having the toughest time! Everyhting is so expensive and their bids are always too low! Good luck! I hope you get it!!!!
