Who says the housing market is bad?

They must have never tried to find a house in Utah County. We have so far put bids on 2 houses... and yet we are still houseless. The first house we put in a bid over asking price, but someone outbid us. The second house we realized after we went through a long process of bidding and counterbidding... only to find out they can't legally put the house under contract for another 6 weeks. I seems that every house I find that I love is already under contract. So we are back to square one. I am SO frustrated! Whoever says the market is bad needs to try househunting in Lehi.
