Swore I would never ask for "jingles" but I really need them; Putting in an offer on a house

I need to get this out into the universe. Mr Kassandra and I are putting in an offer on a house tomorrow and we really want the house. We have been house shopping on and off for 8 YEARS while we fixed up our current home just to make it livable, but this house has never been what we wanted and lacks several of our big wants (mainly a large lot and more than one bathroom!).

Anyway, I would really love it if anyone is around and could just send some good vibes my way. I'm nearly in tears at the thought of not getting it.

Thanks guys, not a whole lot of hope. 3 days on the market there are already 2 offers, one all cash, and 8 other offers on the way. This is the Bay Area where vultures...I mean "investors".. buy up all the affordable housing to either try to flip or turn into a rental. It's really sad, the market is still so perverted and the really wealthy have gotten so much more so especially compared to the middle class... Well all be serfs soon.

Anyway, we will see. We live in a tiny but cozy house and love our neighbors, the house just doesn't work that well for us.

You know we are always looking around. We look in this area to "upgrade" and up in GV and Petaluma in search of a vacation/retirement home and whatever we find first we will buy, lol.

This place is actually in El Sob on about 2/3 acre and has a barn and is zoned ag believe it or not, although I would not keep Bugzy in the backyard! We mainly like it because it's on a quiet street and is a whopping 1500+sf, has 2 bathrooms in the house and another in the garage, with the laundry hook-ups in the house, what a concept. It's a special place but obviously everyone else thinks so too :( We aren't willing to go into a bidding war and spend more then we want since I truly believe there's still a lot of downside risk in housing, especially in our "retirement dream" areas.

Jingling hard for ya, K! The market here is bizarre too and it took us 18 months and 9 offers (at asking price or over) to buy our current house. It is the middle class price point that is insane here. People upgrading and people downsizing so everyone on the planet wanted the same kind of property/price point.

Let us know how it works out...
