We had viewed the house a few times before deciding to put in an offer for the asking price. By this point another buyer was interested, made a higher offer over asking that we can’t match, vendor accepted their offer.
To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement! I probably got too emotionally invested too soon but it was perfect for us and could really see ourselves living in this house. We’re first time buyers so I didn’t realise how devastating this can be. The vendor promised to let us buy if it was to fall through.
So my question is: How often do purchases fall through? Should I just give up the idea of this house now? Is holding on to a little hope silly?
To add houses don’t often come up in my local area and we are staying here due to DC school.
