What am I doing Wrong

[Pamela Marshall]

We have been trying to buy a primary residence since last year. We are trying to find something for us before we start investing Everyone is over bidding on these darn properties. I don't understand why someone would bid $50,000 over the asking price. how can we ever get a home? we want to stay here in san diego. I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong. I see properties sell for are price range we want to stay in but we seem to also be to late and miss out. I can we get in on the good deals. I have been through a few agents. I can't seem to find one who knows what they are doing. I need help. they just tell me to bid higher.
