OMG I just want to buy a freaking house!

[fredo4]

I feel your pain. My advice would be to do what we did and find a really great rental house (perhaps in the area where you’d like to eventually buy) and hunker down for the next few months (or years)until things are less weird. The truth is that nobody knows how this is all going to pan out with all of the government intervention. Why fight over the few crummy houses available to buy? Wait until buying conditions are more in your favor. It’s better to keep liquid in these uncertain times anyway.

First post here. Yay!

I don’t know where you’re looking to buy, or what your price range is, but maybe you should look into buying a new build? That’s what we ended up doing this year, we found a cheap townhouse in an area we are very happy in, and the builder was happy to accept FHA and VA.

A lot of other military families took the same route, as there are at least 7 other military family just in our little cluster of 12 townhouses.

Good luck to you! I have many friends who have been in the housing market game for at least a year, and have yet to have a single offer accepted–the rejection wears on you after awhile.

Thanks, Folks for all of your advice and comments. I have news on our situation…The house that we really wanted, a short sale that we placed an offer in April is now being finalized with the negotiator, so we may be closer than ever to getting this deal through. I’ll beleive it when it happens. The timing of everything does seem controlled as many here have suggested.

Thanks again!
