Someone else bought our house. :-(
We met with a realtor today to discuss a reasonable price. Once we came up with one and he called to make an offer, the seller told him it was already in escrow. I cried. We already had the kitty garden all laid out in our minds. We were figuring out where the entertainment center would go and which way the bed would face. We envisioned our super-fun First Friday barbecues in our new, cute little backyard. My friend Megan says everyone has to have their heart broken by at least one house in their lifetime. I'm sure we'll call this one "the heartbreaker" for the rest of our lives.
We are putting in a back-up bid, just in case the other buyers punk out, but we don't expect anything to come from it. We don't even know how much they're buying it for.

for that price you could buy a brand new home....
We aren't really interested in a brand-new tract home. We're looking for something unique.
Aaah that sucks! Well the house does look really nice! Errr...I mean did!
Don't sweat it - really. There are plenty of houses out there, and you guys will be so excited when you finally get one. Buying into the Los Angeles real estate market was rough a couple of years ago, and Rebecca and I spent about 6 months looking and making offers.
Hopefully when you finally do get the house of your dreams, it doesn't cost a fortune anytime one thing breaks because when a repairman comes out to fix it he breaks or finds something else that's "not up to code". But on the optimistic side, this is a minor setback and I'm sure you'll find a house you can actually live in and call home. Good luck!
Awe, thanks guys. :-)
We ended up putting in a back-up bid of $350k. It was swiftly and soundly rejected. Sounds like maybe they were offended. Whatever. I was offended they were asking $400k.
Oh yeah, HI ROB! How's Rebecca and the baby? Didn't you guys have another one???
Yeah, we're a family of 4 now. I threw up a couple of pictures to a website that I hardly maintain at all:
