I always have my eye on local real estate even though we're not planning to move to another house for 1.5-2 years. And this weekend I came across an amazing house with a ton of potential: it had everything we want/need in our forever home, in a sought-after neighbourhood, huge opportunity to add value, great school district and fantastic value. I know better than to let emotions cloud a home search, but sometimes I can't help it!

I dreamt about it all day today. Tonight I talked to DH about it and he is not in any way interested/prepared to move right now. I knew this already, but thought maybe he'd feel differently since it was such an insanely good investment opportunity. But it wasn't meant to be.

I'm positively gutted about it though. Healing my wounds by skipping the gym tonight and indulging in a mug cake and some wine.

Anyone else get emotionally attached to houses they can't have and then feel really sad?

I'm going to lay off looking at the listings for awhile. *sigh*
