When my wife and I bought our house, and sold our townhouse it ended up being a year long process, so it sounds like yours has been moving at light speed!

Good luck and I hope it all works out well for you.

Lynnae,

Congratulations for finding the new house. Best of luck for getting in there sooner.

We are planning to buy our first home and this experience of yours definitely gave me some more things to think about. We are still about 6 months away from really choosing a house and taking things further but I’m just planning to be persistent and keep socking money away for the down payment.

Debt is like wetting the bed……

I found this quote about debt and I love it…
“Borrowing money is like wetting your bed in the middle of the night. At first all you feel is warmth and release. But very, very quickly comes the awful, cold discomfort of reality.”…

@MoneyBlogga – That’s the beauty of this house. It’s far enough out of town to be on a well and in a quiet area, but it’s close enough to town to be on city sewer, so we don’t have to deal with a septic system. :)
