We are really lucky that we bought when we did... the cost of housing has doubled in price here in the last year and a half. If we waited another 6 months to buy we would have a very tiny house for what we paid for our larger totally finished one. The house isn't even finished and we have gained over $300 000 in equity in it.

Wow your market is very different than ours! People are having trouble giving their houses away- which is pretty much what it feels like we did with ours. We were also supposed to be in before Christmas but I think it's actually going to happen this month. YAY! Good luck on yours!

Kathryn, do you think you would be willing to wait a few weeks? I totally understand if not but it would be so awesome to have a big group and I really need to tackle one thing at a time. Eliminate caffeine and moving then cleanse and stop smoking (and wine darn it!). Well if y'all start ahead of me, I'll just have to jump in late. I am really excited about it!
