House Hunting Question

We are starting to look for houses but I am wondering....how long did you look before you bought your home?

Re: House Hunting Question

i just started stalking listingbook.com

my real estate agent set me up with it and put in the areas and school districts we wanted...so every day i would just stalk the crap out of it!!

the house we bought was only the second house we looked at.

Re: House Hunting Question

it took us about 7 months, we had time so I wasn't in a rush and I didn't want to settle. we got the second house we put in an offer on.

Thanks! Can anyone sign up for listing book or do you need a real estate agent to do it for you? We have been looking online but are still up in the area about where, ie Queens, Westchester or even...ek New Jersey!

Re: House Hunting Question

we searched mlsli every single day and went to open houses every week for about a month. we found our house after a month. but we were definitely searching hardcore.

Our realtor set us up with listingbook- not sure if you can sign up yourself. We looked at 100 houses ( no exaggeration!) from January to April. Our house was one of the last we saw.

Re: House Hunting Question

about 13 months............. it was a nightmare!!! we lost 3 houses in the process due to under bidding & not moving fast enough to place an offer. we are currently waiting for the phone call from our lawyer to get our closing date.
