Broken house dream

I am looking to buy my own place under the sun.
It has't come easy though. Yesterday, the
real estate agent broke my spirits when he said that
the property at Sloop st, Seven hills was 'gone'.
Gone..that's it. Just talked to a friend, he was trying
to keep me up with a positive spin on things. But again,
everything happens for a reason. So hope its just
a matter of time. Seven Hills isn't a top of the list
anyway, so guess its a case of something better
on my way..God willing, really.
