Window shopping again

We didn't get our house. Somebody came in a little higher than us. And while, yes, it's disappointing -it was a beautiful house- it's also kind of a relief. It WAS more than we wanted to spend (not super uncomfortably so, but enough of a difference between it, and some comparable houses to make me wonder.)

Also a relief because yesterday when we didn't hear from Larry, Bear and I went for a walk, and found an open house in our neighborhood. Already, it gets crazy bonus points for being in Camarillo, because it's a good city to live in... it's sort of like Burnaby or Coquitlam (for my fellow BCians) with less (read, pretty much zero) grow-ops.
It also gets bonus bonus points for being in the area of Camarillo I like (it's 5 blocks from where I live right now...)
only problem? again, it's listed higher than we want to pay. I'm hoping we can work out some kind of deal where we can afford it... but I imagine they'll get all kinds of offers that will be way higher than ours.

Stay tuned for updates on my newest obsession... ;)
