Subscribethe one
We found the perfect house yesterday. The house we walked into and immediately thought: “this is us”…”this feels like home”. And I moved in mentally. It only took a heartbeat. I did the happy dance in the living room and we decided to make an offer in the evening.
An hour later the agent called and said that another offer had been accepted that afternoon. After it had been sitting on the market for 98 days…
You’ve got to be kidding.
So I am crushed. Really Crushed. It was the one. I know it.
I am trying to not cling… to let it go… to be all zen about it. But THAT SUCKS. I don’t want to look at any other houses because that was the one. so bummed…
gosh, that must be so hard. but penny, you two will find the right house. i just know it. hugs.
Oh I have BEEN THERE. The last time I went through that I promised myself I would always trust that my perfect house would always be waiting for me wherever I happened to be looking, and I had to trust that I would find it, even in the midst of these kinds of disappointments. Although I have yet to be really challenged on that so I say that knowing that might be a zillion times easier said than done. Thinking of you so much…and you never know, whatever offer is in the works right now might fall through…that happens ALL THE TIME. Nothing’s done until the deal is closed. xoxo
a better house will come along for you. i’m sure of it! same thing happenned to me..
so lift your heart- the best is yet to be!
xo
hug
I similar thing happened to my wife and I. I am kinda of thankful that we didn’t get that house because we would have probably been one the people who foreclosed on a house. We decided to wait, rent a house, get our finances in order, and have a kid instead. I am extremely happy with how things turned out and know we be in a much better spot when we do get our house.
Good luck and best of luck!
Maybe their financing will fall through. (evil grin)
oh bummer. bummer. bummer. to continue the thought from above, there’s always voodoo and witchcraft… xoxo
Don’t fret. It may still be yours, in which it truly is the perfect house for you.
And if you don’t get it, you will soon find out that it was just the Universe’s way of guiding you to ….the Perfect House, which apparently you haven’t discovered just yet.
I bid on two (!) houses, and they fell through, and I was so devastated. But now, when I see them, I breath a sigh of relief, because they had major pitfalls. And I am now living in the absolute Perfect House because I couldn’t buy the first ones!
Hang in there!
Penny, the universe has a way of giving back tenfold after you let go. So, let go and trust the universe. You’d be surprised what comes up.
It is very zen to not cling, but it is also very zen to acknowledge and feel the suckiness of the moment and then to let it go…while that house seemed like the one, it was a sign that the right one does exist and it is on the way for you.
believe that.
you know….if it’s meant to be the offer from the other folks will fall out somehow. it has happened to us twice. i used to write little haikus or poems about whatever i was trying to manifest-one was:
universe, great and divine
make 213 pine canyon mine
and it worked, though it wasn’t the perfect house after all! so we never made an offer. i like asking and then receiving. it just feels good. i wish you luck and meant-to-be’s. xo p
If it doesn’t work out, it’s for a better purpose. There are millions of people who can attest to that. God always works things out for our good, even the bad things. Maybe the house had ghosts or had toxic substances or mold.
“All things work out for the good, to those who are called in Christ Jesus”
You know..the same thing happened to a good friend of mine. They found this house…thought it was “the one” and were crushed when another offer was accepted. A short while later, they found an even better house…at a better price…that felt even more like home. Keep the faith. You’ll find something. It always works out for the best in the end.
I’m adding to the “it happened to me” stories… The husband and I were looking at houses that had been on the market for months, even YEARS. And as soon as we’d put in an offer, we’d find out another one had been accepted. Or a bidding war would start. This happened repeatedly. It was so ridiculous, it was almost funny, except that I stressed my self out so badly that I literally made myself sick. Which was really sad, because of course, it all worked out fine. We now live in a house that is perfect for us on 15 acres on a cul-de-sac in the country. I know hearing “it will all work out” gets very old. So I won’t say that. But do be careful about too much worry and stress. I will keep you in my prayers. I know it’s hard!!
I know so much where you’re coming from. Same thing happened to me. But there was no other way then to let it go. Just like you, I felt this is my place, this is me. But no. Someone else got it. Yes, it sucks! Perhaps there is a reason for not getting that perfect … it all comes down to … trust ?
Penelope,
I second all the thoughts put out above… if meant to be and so on. But I would also say ask and put it out there and you will receive. Like they said, the deal isnt done till the line is signed!!
Sending good thoughts…

I think “The One” is still waiting. Maybe it looked good, it felt right but then if you tried it on you would have found a hole in it or it was itchy. Better leave that to the new owners after the inspection. Who knows maybe it will have water damage or electrical issues. If only they has disclaimers while you were shopping for that new house.
The exciting thing is that if you beleive in destiny then the “PERFECT ONE” is still out there and will present itself to you when the time is right. I bet this one will be even better. Something exciting to look forward to.
Or maybe the contract will fall through and you might get it after-all. Who knows? But that is what makes life an adventure. Just go along for the ride and enjoy looking at other people’s houses. I always enjoy seeing how other people live and decorate. It is a way to peak in and be nosey.
Take Care!
P: Checking your pulse. Meeting with D. for one on one session this am. We will send healing thoughts to you all, especially Alison and Tom.
Remember You are the Ocean…XXOO C
I think there isn’t “one”, but many. You’ll find one of your meant-to-be-houses one day!
