So I've been looking as houses these past two weels just, and I've been spooked by the lack of supply on the market compared to demand.

We were initially looking 100K houses with a 10K deposit, but it was clear that stuff in urban areas I preferred (Woodstock, Falls) had a bit of demand behind it, and my personal favourite house ended up having several bidders on it so I might have to kiss goodbye to that one.

There's the sinking feeling; either that whatever house we offer on, we'll be forced to bid up 10K above offer price until our budget is exhausted, and that the process will be long and drawn-out while the market moves fast. Is there some ovmmon sense I should be knowing that'd keep me from stressing out too much about it?
