Viewed a house yesterday morning. On paper, it seemed to have most things we are looking for. It actually looked better in reality than the agents photos suggested. So many plus points, a couple of compromises. Lovely rooms, beautiful garden in a rural location but not far from amenities.
Yet neither me or my husband felt anything. No sense of excitement, no emotional reaction, no "feeling". We came away and both said, really nice, but can't see us living there. But neither of us could say why. I got an automated msg from the agent asking for feedback and I filled it in and selected that we weren't interested.
But today I can't stop thinking about that house! I can't understand why we had such a cold reaction to it. We were both really tired from a long week and didn't get a good night's sleep before the viewing. I'm now wondering if we were just not in the right frame of mind.
Has anyone else had this? Immediately ruled out a property and then started to regret it? I just compare it to a house we saw a few years back when we were looking in the height of the covid market frenzy. We both knew as soon as we stepped in the door that we loved the house (we didn't get it, it went to best and final offers).
I think I'm expecting to feel something like that again when it's the right house, even though I normally make decisions with my head, not my heart.
