Holy cow! I know I've been super frustrated in the past, but tonight I cannot decide if I am pissed off or frustrated. I found the perfect house for me, price is right, you name it, but my realtor has failed to finish writing up the offer and I just saw the house I want has changed from active to contingent. I can still put an offer in, but short of a miracle, I do not see my offer being accepted (if my realtor ever gets it submitted). Finding a house is worse than finding a partner and getting married.
Part of this is on the listing agent, I think there is some kind of shady going on as my realtor has tried to contact the listing agent (broker) all week and her phone calls and emails have gone unanswered. How does a house that has been on the market for 4 years all of a sudden go to contingent the week my realtor lets the listing agent know I will be making an offer. WTF.
My apologies if I am offending anyone with my language, but this is my blog after all and you don't have to read it.
Then tonight I watch this clip on CNBC Silicon Valley Real Estate Market about the housing market in the area I am trying to buy in and its disgusting. The market is crazy insane, people are buying houses without inspections, above listing and appraisal value, and they are paying cash. I can't compete with this and I sure as hell am not going to rent a house out there.
I am at a total loss of what to do at this point. My realtor keeps pushing to another area where I could buy a huge house for the same price as an older home, but the newer homes are built like crap, have no yards to speak of, and are too far from work. I'm all about commuting, but there are certain areas where commuting is far easier and that area is not one of them.
I am even more frustrated when I think if the job I am transitioning to had opened up a year ago like it was supposed to I would not be facing this insanity. I am putting it in God's hands now (I am not super religious, but do believe in God and his plans for us - just wish I knew what his plan was for me) because at this point I am at a loss and I do not want to buy a house because I am in a panic, I want to be smart about it, because this is a HUGE purchase for me.
Hopefully, tomorrow will be better and after a good night's sleep I will feel better about this whole situation. I think what makes it difficult is it is 2:23 am and I can't just call my realtor to ask her WTF. She has been wonderful to me and I don't want to take my frustration out on her, but I feel as if they did not want me to buy this house (and maybe for my own good -who knows).
