then you did the right thing because you didnt really want it. Even getting a good deal isnt worth buying unless you really want the house. You are likely going to be there a few years so you better like it.
Good houses priced well wont sell at a discount below current comps this time of year. Based upon current comps you would not have been overpaying.
For what its worth, the only comps that matter anymmore are 90 days or less. All the lenders I have seen only look back that far. They need to be current because 6 months ago could be a different market better or worse than we have right now depending upon where you are.
