Dissapointment

So far we have put in three offers for three different houses...and you guessed it! Number three just fell through today.

1st house:  Sellers were greedy, we had the best out of three offers. The seller counter-offered the other two buyers but not us. The end result: All three potential buyers walked.

2nd house: Sellers did not give us a counter or an answer when they said they were going to, a few hours before they needed to answer they received a cash offer and took that offer instead even though it was a lower price than our offer.

3rd house: It was a Short Sale and we had been waiting for two weeks to hear an answer from the bank. This morning our agent called and told us that the owner moved back in. He said the owners' attorney told her that she was going into bankruptcy and that she could just live in it for free until they really kick her out. Is that legal? Apparently...

I feel that someone else knows what is best for our family. We cannot give up hope.
