If it makes you feel any better, I fell in love with three houses before I got one. The first was darling, but poorly maintained, and when I went back for a second look on a rainy day, we discovered that water was pooling against the foundation and running down the basement walls like a waterfall.

The second I actually bid on, but they got three bids and took one of the others. Buying during a sellers' market sucks.

The third house, the one I actually got, really was the best house for me. I had to pay full asking price, but not having any contingencies in my offer other than home inspection (i.e. no home sale contingency) was what got me the house.
