I decided to be productive today and go to an open house, even though [livejournal.com profile] pierceheart is otherwise occupied. I was going to see 24 Fellsway West in Somerville, a smaller place than I was generally looking at, but I wanted to see about how various layouts can affect livability of a smaller space. So. Unfortunately, there were open houses at both 14 and 24 Fellsway West. I stupidly went to the wrong one because it was the first Open House sign I saw, and I didn't remember that I was looking for 14 and not 24. I thought, "HOLY CRAP, this place looks bigger than I imagined! And I thought the place I was looking at was a very different style of place. But I looked at a bunch of stuff online this morning, so I must be getting confused with a place I decided NOT to look at." I adored the place. It was so nice. I didn't even realize until I got home that I'd made a mistake. THIS place was down the street from the one I'd been aiming for. THIS place was going for $100K more than that one.

Ah.

Well, this place had an offer put on it this morning anyway, so I didn't actually think it was a possibility as soon as I found that out. But now I feel like a moron, because I was thinking about chatting more with this agent (who works for buyers as well as sellers, and doesn't require a contract with buyers, though I'm not sure what to make of that). But if I say, "Uh, yeah, that was the wrong place and I'm looking for something $100K cheaper, and YES, I realize that will not get me anywhere near as nice a place, and I'm resigned to that," I'll feel like a total idiot. Ugh. Oh well.

Edit: I think the worst part was realizing, "Ah, I should have known a place this nice was too expensive for us. We can't afford anything this nice." :(
