My mood matched the weather

This week my mood has matched the horrible weather we have had. After all the wishing, hoping and finger crossing we found out that the house we had been dreaming about would not be ours. We didnt' lose out to another bidder. The vendor decided that he was not content with his asking price and wasn't going to sell his house in the current market. Just like a slow roller coaster ride building up hopes and then rushing down, all without the exciting adrenaline rush.


I was upset, then more upset and then angry. All the time spent meeting with brokers and running around, sourcing conveyancers. I was really relieved that we hadn't paid for a building inspection. Time spent imagining our family living in the space.


Such a waste of time in my holidays.


Even more annoying is the likelihood that the house we are renting is going to be sold.Typical


Still just like the sun has come out today my mood is lifting. I suspect the house will go back on the market eventually. Technically it is still listed for sale but if he won't take even his asking price he will need to change the listed price. 


I suspect he will be selling within 6 months, waiting till summer when he thinks he will have more interest. We'll keep waiting too.
