Hang in there, when we bought our house, it took a few tries. We fell in love with one, and went to make an offer. The seller had just accepted another offer from another couple while we were standing in the house looking at it and talking about what we wanted to spend. We went back to looking, made another couple offers, and it all worked out. Don't give up if the first few are rejected, and don't just pay sticker price unless you can't live without it.
It is actually kind of fun...keeping my wife's emotional attachment off the house...THAT'S the challenge. And I say that with love because I do love her! LOL
