ParticipantDon’t go through life worrying about what people think of you.
If you love the house then get the house. The postings above exhibit a generalization that to me is fairly useless. If there are a bunch of offers and it is overbid then they make no sense at all. If there are no bids and the home has been on the market a long time then you may overpay. Every situation requires more then a cookie cutter approach.
If you really love the home then go after it AS LONG AS YOU CAN AFFORD IT. If you think that the difference between what you offered and what you may have to pay for the home is going to make the home that much less appealing then stick to your guns. Depdnding on the area there may be alot of depreciation in the future. Your agent should be able to give you guidance.
There will ALWAYS be more homes available.

Participant“There will ALWAYS be more homes available.”
Do you really think so? There are not many houses on sale in San Diego right now. That “shadow inventory” is so elusive, that I lost hope for it ever showing up in MLS. Rates are not going to be as low for long.
As someone said in another thread people who were scrupulous and did not buy during the bubble are screwed and mad as hell. I see people throwing money like crazy to get in a property now. It feels like we the pigs already lost the waiting game.March 19, 2010 at 4:15 PM #528203Participant“There will ALWAYS be more homes available.”

Alot of people are mad because our govt has decided to punish those who were scrupulous by enacting policies that bailout institutions who lent to people who should not have been lent to, and individuals who frankly spent more then they could ever afford. Now we have a crappy inventory situation and artificially supported pricing. It is horrible. So you are now feeling that buy now or forever not get a decent home or watch prices move upward. I don’t buy into that. I do buy into the fact that yes, you did miss a local bottom and it may take quite awhile to get back there. Yes there will always be other homes, they may take a week to come out they may take another 2 years to come out. It is frustrating but they always come out.
