War

You know how we've been house hunting like, oh, you know, every two or three seconds? Well, we found a dream home on Friday, and within four hours of seeing it (and less than twenty four hours after it came onto the market) we submitted an offer and crossed our fingers.

Twenty five hundred square feet. Two stories with a detached garage. Double lot. Built in the forties with nearly all of the original architectural detailing intact. Surrounded by properties selling for four times the price.

Three houses from the ocean in one of the sweetest little beach towns I've ever seen.

There was a bidding war with multiple other buyers. Which did not go well. For us.

Sad.

I was going to show you a few photos to get it out of my system, but now I realize that I can't bear to.

So sad.
