Relieved!
Sometimes we will go see houses that feel almost right for you... but not completely right... just almost right.

Maybe the house has everything you said was on your list, but it just doesn't have the setting, lot, surroundings or views that you were hoping you would find.

Maybe the house has all the right types of spaces and finishes but they all seem just slightly off the market related to size, layout or fitting your style or needs.

It can be really hard to decide NOT to make an offer on a house that seems like it is just about perfect for you.

Until... you walk into the home that is, indeed, exactly what you are looking for in a home.

Then, it's a completely different experience... all the past doubts of whether you should have pursued those other almost perfect houses quickly slip into the background.  

You can tell right away that it is good that you decided NOT to make an offer on those other houses that could have worked but just didn't feel quite right.

This is not to say that every buyer will be able to find a house that feels like the absolutely perfect house to them.

This is not to say that you won't have to compromise on some of what you are looking for in a home.

What I am saying is that if a house does not feel quite right (for whatever reason) it's OK to decide NOT to make an offer... that might then give you an amazing sense of relief later on in the process when we do find the house that is just right for you!
