House Hunting-Ughh

Just venting

 

My fiance and I have been searching for a home for about a good 6 months. It is such a frustrating process....Esp when we have somewhat of a time period. For first time buyers we get around 8,000 back in taxes if we purchase a house before April. That does not leave us enough time..or if there is time...where are the houses?!?!?

You can buy my condo! My fiance and I are trying to sell both of our condos and then buy a house! AND planning a wedding! I feel your pain.

I know the feeling!

Some websites that I have been addicted to lately are:

Homes for sale and apartments for rent ? Move.com

BlockShopper - Welcome

Real Estate, Homes for Sale & Real Estate Values - Zillow

They provide really good inforamtion.

Thanks..I have searched n searched the internet. The housing market is suppose to be on the buyers side...but I do not see that much of a difference.

PLUS-it seems like every house we look at, there is always a catch.

 

sigh sigh!

I hear you on that one! Except i dont think FI and I will be able to buy a house before April... I know wishful thinking but i hope the re extend the tax credit again.... =(

 

Good luck in your search I know what you mean about the current house market, honestly, have you spoken to a realtor? We were investigating realtors in NY Queens area that also worked with LI for us to help our search. We tried for about a year on our own and honestly have come to the conclusion that with the help of a realtor its much less stressful. HtH

My FI and I bought our condo last Oct and it took a good three months. It was really stressful but in the end it all worked out. Stay positive good luck!!

Wow, did they extend the tax credit? That's awesome if they did. We spent a good 6 months & looking at about 100 houses before we bought ours. My advice, be patient and don't settle.

Just don't settle!!
