How many viewings is too many viewings?

Before you commit to making an offer.
Is it acceptable to see a house for a third time?

My husband thinks it’s fine and I’m feeling really awkward about it being our third go! It’s been 2months since seeing it for 2nd time.

Prices increased exponentially during / after Covid and aren’t coming back down, so things sit on the market a long time.

No it hasn't, thats simply called being over priced. They exist and sit on the market everywhere, correctly priced houses fly off the shelf.

With an exception of say mansion, castles and other such extreme/expensive housing stock though, usually they have tiny pools of suitable buyers due to very high prices even just in heating and upkeep costs. Let face it thats unlikely what we are talking about though.

We had two viewings on our current property, thinking we had a buyer but it was a month before we had a definite buyer. We were sure our current house was the best for us in terms of space, condition and location, but absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke and DH felt it was a bit overlooked, so went back a third time just to be absolutely sure as we'd had a month to ponder. We viewed, decided it was the one and told sellers we were going home to offer, which we did.

Viewing, second more detailed viewing, offer. Once accepted then a third is fine for measuring and checking stuff.

Thanks everyone.
We both liked the house itself. It backs onto a school (and sports pitches used at weekends for team events) which is why we initially got cold feet and didn’t offer. We’ve seen a few other houses since but keep coming back to this one as house & space offered a lot. I don’t feel like I need to see house again but DH would like to and thinks it’s fine. If we offer and they accept then I feel we could ask for maybe for purposes of measuring up.
The house is a huge investment so I suppose DH wants reassurance. It’s been on for 4mo but houses aren’t shifting in our area.
