A maybe house

I'm really just not able to see ourselves in this house, but the price is decent (a little high), but has generally what we want. Its 4 bedrooms (one can be used for a playroom). All the bedrooms are on the larger side. Nicely painted downstairs. Appliances stay and I think are stainless steel. Really, the only "con" I can think if is the yard is smaller, but it is a LONG yard (does that make sense? There is about 5-10 ft then a small hill going up - but totally landscaped so I don't think it will be a mud puddle but worth checking out in the rain just in case). Its 154k, we're hoping to stay under 150k. Our Realtor said she can negotiate the price down into our range, and throw in closing costs (and trust she can do both! She's awesome!) i don't know what I can't get past, I just don't see us in this house, not even short term. Its a very nice house though, and the lot is nice. I'm afraid if we hold out for something better we might regret it, but then again I have 20 houses alone on my list of "possibilities" that we haven't look at. And more houses keep popping up every day (I get a new email with changed or new listings daily). So, there are many houses in the sea. We've looked at 20 houses now, so I'm getting kind of bummed. But I want to say somewhere long term. I don't want to move again. The soonest I'd consider moving again is when Hailey graduates from elementary school.

Don't settle if you arent happy. Especially if its over your price range!! The only time I'd say you should settle on second best is if you are getting the house for a rock bottom price and you can use it as an investment.

That is why its a "maybe" house. If we can't find anything better (which I'm sure we could). Doubt they'll go down on the price though b/c they got it for 156k about 4 years ago. So they are already taking a loss on the house.

We did see a listing pop up on a house in our price range that is about 2300 square feet with our "requirements" for rooms space. Pics look nice. I don't know if it is a foreclosure though - the tax value is 170k and they are selling for 147k. But, all the houses even individual owned not bank owned are the same way the tax value is way over the asking price b/c of the inflation of housing costs. The bubble has finnally started to pop!
