Hey, has anyone here ever lost out on a house because their offer wasn’t good enough? My wife and I found a place we loved, but it sold before we could even blink. Feels like you have to be a mind reader to know how much to offer or what terms to include. What worked for you guys when it came to actually landing the house?

Yes, it’s tough out there — many lose homes even with strong offers. What helped others was getting pre-approved, acting fast, writing personal letters, and waiving minor contingencies when possible. Working with a sharp local agent can also make a big difference.
