gofish Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I remember the excitment of getting a new house. Quote Link to comment
Crazy4Canning Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Congratulations! I will never forget the day we signed for ours. I don't think I've signed my name so much in my life. As great a feeling as it was, I was also feeling very 'poor' because it was the only time in my life I've written a check for about $10k. I couldn't be happier for you! Quote Link to comment
Amishway Homesteaders Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 More room for Michael! and some more room for other things as well! Great to be a home owner - but you do know now all the "fix ups' in the place will be YOURS to do! Quote Link to comment
HazelStone Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Finally! After a few months of searching the wife and I have opened escrow on a house! Congratulations! May I suggest keeping your homeowners deductible small for the first year or two? As you haven't been in control of the house, you never know what little things that may be lurking...the home inspector doesn't catch everything... ...yes, learned by experience (but I at least had the smaller deductible...)

themartianchick Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 YAAAYY!!!! Congratulations to you and your family! Like C4C, I remember the writer's cramp from signing my name so many darn times. By the time the house was ours, my signature didn't even look like mine anymore! On the way out of the building to find our car in the parking lot, I remember me whispering in disbelief to my husband, 'We just bought a house!' The moment was HUGE!!! And yours will be, too!

Jeepers Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I rememder very well the first house we bought. I was scared half to death. We always said if we ever got our own home the first thing we were going to get was a puppy. I was so worried we wouldn't be able to afford to feed one after the house payments. We got brave and got a beagle anyway and she lived 13+ years and was very well fed. Quote Link to comment
