Back when we were house-hunting, we looked for months. We didn't have the kind of "luck" you're having, but every time we saw something, there was something wrong with it.

Finally, we decided to look in a neighborhood that wasn't our first choice. The house was too big, and so on. We walked in, and it was almost literally love at first sight.

We put in a bid, only to find out that someone else had gotten it before we did. I was terribly disappointed. We talked to the owners, and they really wanted to sell it to us, esp. after they found out we would meet a key condition. They told the first buyer "sorry" and proceeded to sell it to us.

So, don't give up!

I'm sorry too, about your grandmother...You are way overdue for a run of very good luck.
