Christmas present to myself?
Today at one I will be making an offer on a townhome … the neighborhood is similar to the one I was looking to move into before but it’s about four years older. The unit I am looking at is the same type I looked at in the new development, but the design on the inside is different – and better! – than the new unit I was looking at. It’s REALLY cute. And the people selling it are obviously very eager to sell it as they are selling it for about $10K under tax value. New carpet and fresh coat of paint, a couple of brand new appliances … I’ve talked to a couple of the neighbors in that section of the development who told me great things about the neighborhood itself and the people who had moved out of the unit I am looking to buy.
So if the seller and I can come to an agreement, I might be starting off the new year in the first home I’ve ever owned 
I better log off and get ready. Catch ya’ll later this afternoon.
Evening update: Ok – made the offer earlier today. Should know by Weds. whether or not the seller wants to accept or if we have to go back to the negotiating table. I REALLY want this place! I’ll keep ya’ll posted on what happens. If it is meant to be, it will be. I MUST keep that in mind

Dear Sis:
Well, unless the photo on your blog is very old, I’ve got a lot of years on you; you’re buying your first home, and we’ve bought what we believe will be our last. One daughter leaves for college next fall, and the other one will be making the same trek four years hence.
Plan on things being nerve-wracking: every time you find what is the perfect house, the waiting time between offer and acceptance is a killer. Fortunately, on our current home, the waiting time between offer and acceptance was about 2½ hours!
My only real advice is: buy the home that is right for you, not only today, but what you reasonably think will be right for you fourteen years down the road. Buyers regret on a car is easily solved; second thoughts on a house are just too bad! If your decision comes with having to make a real compromise in what you wanted, don’t do it!
Now that I’m a Loan Officer with Wells Fargo … let me know if you need help financing
I’ll cross my fingers for you that you get the place you want for a price you can live with.
Congratulations Dear. I hope this works out for you. – Lorica
Make sure you visit it during noisy times, not just when everyone is at work and kids in school. Check the walls for soundproofing. Check traffic patterns. Good luck! Like every other dwelling, your own will be part blessing and part curse. But since it’ll be your own, it’ll at least be a blessing to work on correcting the curse parts.
Thanks for the tips, ya’ll
Will hopefully know more by Weds. of this week.
Wednesday, huh? I’m sure that you’ll be a nervous wreck until then.
Congratulations and good luck! I can’t argue with Pink Floyd:
“Every fool knows a dog needs a home, a shelter from pigs on the wing.”
Booo. A townhome is just an apartment that you own. Go with a house. It might cost a little more, but with the maintenance fees you will save, you’ll come out much better. Of course, you have to do your own landscaping
but that is what God made weekends for. I think it’s in the bible. Pretty sure
