i recently got a new job (and therefore more income) and so my wife has decided that renting is not for us anymore. she has lately been casually looking for a new house which has grown to become almost serious as of late. because of this, we have been doing walk-throughs on various houses, some reasonably within our reach and some not so reasonably.
we looked at a couple of houses (actually, town homes) a couple of days ago and one of them seemed to be good enough to make an offer on. we made an offer on the house with the thought that if we didn’t get the house, at least we would learn the process and wouldn’t be so green the next time around.
we got the response back today and it was accepted.
i have no idea what to say…
i guess i have to move now.
this is the most unexpected development that i have ever experienced. i mean, there have been times where i wasn’t expecting to get something, or i wasn’t expecting something to go my way, but this one takes the cake. it’s so weird to think that i now own a house. the largest purchase i’ve ever made before this, was when i bought a king size snickers this morning. and now i own a house.
wow.
EDIT: the community the town home we had planned on buying was in had a litigation pending against the developer, so we felt this was too much to take on in a first home and therefore canceled the contract due to the home not passing the home inspection.
