did you see before you found "the one"?

DH and I have seen about 10 and are going tomorrow for another one and it seems to be so exciting but then when you just know it is not the one...it is so dissapointing!!!  :-(

Felt like a million....probably was about 50.

We're keeping an eye on the market and going to OH when something truly piques our interest...but we've seen *at least* 10.  Don't despair!

The first time I bought was in 2005. I looked for 11 months. ELEVEN. MONTHS. And I pretty much went to at least five houses a months. Some months were double digits. I thought I would die. Of course, being choosy was worth it, since I eventually found the perfect place :)

Now DH and I have been looking for about three months. We've seen about 15 houses, but of those, a few were "We're in the neighborhood - why not check it out?" places. We did find "The House," but we weren't in a position to bid (our condo has to sell first), and it was just recently sold.

The moral of the story: It takes a while, but it's worth it. Don't settle!

15 I think... :)  We saw 11 homes one day and 4 the next time we looked... the 2nd time looking we found our house!!! :)

We probably saw 40-50 homes. DH was so sick out house hunting, that he said we were done if the bid for our house wasn't accepted. I'm so glad it was =)
