New Home Owner I toyed with the idea of purchasing a house for various reasons past Thursday. Started looking on Friday and saw few more homes during open house over the weekend. Put in a offer on Monday (yesterday). Owners accepted today. And BAM! Now I'll be a home owner. :eek: I know I should be excited but..... I'm having mixed feelings. :confused: I feel like I'm being forced to "grow up". ROFL :rolleyes: I'll probably be posting asking for advice on the best ways to transition my furries to the new home as comfortable as possible. :D |
Congratulations! Owning a new home is a big step in life. It is a lot of work but the sense of pride that comes with it is well worth it. |
Hey, way to go! Scary, but so much fun. After you find your nitch you'll be saying "why didn't I do this sooner. Best wishes! |
Congratulations!! Wishing you lots of happiness in your new home. |
Congratulations new home owner. Don't worry that little kid in you will never leave. |
Well if you were already prequalified for that range in house price, then you should be fine. I have always felt the biggest waste of money was paying rent. Now you are a home owner! Congrats! As far as transitioning the fur butts... let them go for a walk before going in for the first time. Take them outside often. Toto is my bad boy. If he needs to go, he will just go. He doesn't tell me. So I take him outside before he needs to go. We bought a brand new home last year and he peed in several places. We found out when we ripped out the carpet to put in laminate. The reality hit me when I saw all the pee so I take him out every two hours or so. |
Congrats! I was a first time buyer three years ago. The freedom you have in your new house will be amazing. Share some pics! I love house design! happy for you! |
Oh wow - CONGRATS!!!! So excited and happy for you! You will love it, you really will. I think having some second thoughts is normal...sorta like "omg...what have I done NOW!?" type thing. The investment will be great - it's a good time to buy right now, generally speaking. Can't wait to hear more! |

Yep! This is me a well. Second thoughts and all. I'm closing on our new home on the 30th and selling the one I'm living in Oct 30. This is the 7th home I've bought/sold (we're a military family) and it's spooky every time. Trust me... when you decide to paint the walls, you'll appreciate the fact that you don't have to ask for permission. But I swear every time something broke I wished I was renting still! |
4 Attachment(s) Thanks everyone! I'm closing on 10/15 assuming everything goes smoothly with the inspection and all. Not sure about move in date as I do want to get some stuff done to the house before actually moving in. It is a good buy and I got it less than asking price. :D My furries will now have a backyard to play in!!!!!!! It's not huge yard but it's so much better than the patio space they have now. lol Here are some pics. Attachment 407564 Attachment 407565 Attachment 407566 Attachment 407567 |

What a beautiful home! Now wonder you put an offer on it. How exciting! I love the tiered deck! The whole house just oozes class! What changes are you planning? (Forgive me. I'm an interior designer) |

The only major change I want to make is to remodel the half bath to full bath on the main floor. Also, it's getting harder for my mom to walk up the stairs so we're thinking of taking up part of the "dining room" and putting the bed there. I don't need the den so they can use that as their walk in closet. I'm trying to decide on a portable fire pit or having one built in the back... |

However, I'd be happy to offer my input. That is a versatile home you have there. You can go in quite a few different directions. You're welcome to pm me. ;) Have you looked into a chair lift for the stairs? It might be less expensive. Honestly, I think the first thing I would do is replace the fence so the pups can't escape :) |
Wow, that is a dream home! Love the coffered ceilings, the wainscoting, the HUGE kitchen, the deck, everything! |
