John and Kate are Phoenix newlyweds who are ready to find a first place that's big enough to start a family but priced under $250,000. They each fall in love with a different property, so they decide to make offers on both, hoping that they won't come through at the same time. When a bidding war results on one of the properties, they anxiously await the seller's response. Once their offer is accepted and they go to closing, frustration grows as everything's in place except for keys to house.
