House hunting

Why? Why does house hunting have to be sooooo hard? We have been looking for a house since May and still nothing. If it isn't one thing it's another. We have looked at so many homes. We have even put in a couple of offers. The problem is either they need to much work or they are to small. I want to stay close to the area we are in because my parents are here. We found close to what would be a perfect home and come to find out that one of the neighbors was robbed recently. We have a very patient real estate agent! He even shows use homes on his day off. Well all I can say is good things happen to those who wait!
