Congrats Brian. Unfortunately, I know just how it feels. It grinds you 
down.
I had my first house on the market from March 1982 to Sept '84 and 
dropped a notional 12.5% on it, but the real hurt was the interest on 
the bridging loan which was around 12% per annum for two and a half 
years. Didn't buy socks, let alone cameras, for a few years after that.

Best of luck finding the new house.
