This morning we went to the auction for the house we would have wanted to try to buy if we hadn't got the one we wanted more earlier in the week. Mainly we just wanted to see what the auction was like, how many people bid, and of course, what price it sold for.
The bidding opened way lower than the house was worth, but really went up quickly.
As it passed the price we paid for our house, Tony and I had a quiet and relieved giggle to ourselves.
After about 10 minutes of bids and the auctioneers spiel, the house ended up getting sold for 60k more than we paid for our house.
I'm so very happy.
After all, not only is our house better for us and was cheaper, if we hadn't got it, then we would have been bidding at this auction, lost it, and have missed out on both the houses that we wanted. As I was already fed up with looking at houses, I think this would have made me rather badly depressed.
