Bev you have to look at this as an adventure, looking at wonderful and not so wonderful houses until you find the perfect one for you, it's out there, you just haven't found it yet. Every week there will be more houses listed, just keep looking online so you don't miss any.
When our DS was looking he checked the internet every day and his home was listed on the Thursday, we both saw the new listing, he had an inspection on the Saturday, shook hand on the deal and signed contracts on the Monday and he had been looking for over 6 months.
So stay positive
