Feeling a bit disillusioned with the property market at the moment. We went to look at a house that had distinct possibilities on the weekend, and decided that we would make an offer, only to discover that the place was already under contract to someone else. The owner had decided to continue with the open inspection just to gauge what other interest was out there.

And there's nothing else really exciting on the market at the moment. Only houses that are not nice, or too small, or too expensive, or have pools (Andy has put his foot down that we are not having a pool). We are thinking about maybe building, but that seems like a veritable swampland of potentially expensive missteps.

*sigh* Maybe we just need to take a break from it for a while.
