On Topic: Nobody, I am sorry you and your wife are having such a difficult time getting your first house. This is really a bad time in the market for first-time buyers across the country it seems and CA real estate isn't exactly in its prime, either.

Anyone I know currently buying or trying to buy (other than real estate investors) either find it difficult getting a loan in the first place or the property is:

a.) overpriced - either in asking price or additional fees, taxes and costs
b.) too good to be true (buyer offering well below market price, all closing costs paid, etc because they just want to get rid of the thing)

Good luck to you if you keep trying though!
