Ftb viewed my house twice, after first viewing she told agent she loved it second viewing yesterday asked what we would be leaving in house/ any movement on price so I was sure she would put in offer today.
Agents called said Shes still interested but got a few more viewings lined up this week then will make decision.
I'm not sure now- when I've see the house I want I don't look at anything else.
What do you think?

Is yours the first house she has seen? If it is, then she'll want to see other places for comparison.

She sounds cautious. Maybe she'll put in an offer. Maybe not.

I think it could go either way.

I think sometimes people feel they ought to look at others to make sure their decision isn't too hasty. For some me that would also be where I convince myself that the house I want is the house I want, so I'd be viewing the others to criticise them I relation to yours. Although I know myself well enough now to not kid myself with that stage. Maybe there are parents in the scene or something trying to make sure it's a considered decision. Depends on the character of the buyer. But I'd guess yes they'll make an offer

We went to see a few more houses after we saw the one we are buying. It helped cement in our minds that it was definitely the right place.
Buying houses especially first time can be daunting and can leave you with nagging doubts that you've made the right decision. I have nagging doubts when I buy a dress for £100 just think of that niggle when your spending thousands. More often or not gut feeling is right but you want to make sure you are doing the right thing.
However other people are happy to go with a first viewing or no viewing at all and that works for them. Our purchasers saw our house for a whole 10mins before buying... We went back 3 times before we put an offer in. I love the house we're buying but I had to satisfy the what ifs first.

Don't invest too much thought into it - you will be utterly knackered by the whole process if you do. It's hard not to, I know, but the process is so convoluted and the potential for it going wrong is huge, there will be plenty of time for stress later! If she likes it she will, if not someone else will come along later - good luck.
