XP: So...my late (and slightly AW-ish) CW
Obviously comments are ok, and words of encouragement are also welcome because our bills are about to more than double. The confession part is that I'm pretty terrified of what this will mean financially. I know it will be a good move, but things are going to be pretty tight for us for the next couple of years until I finish my masters and start working again. It all works out on paper so I know it's going to be ok, but I'm still freaking out!
So at the risk of jinxing the whole thing, here goes...we're buying a house! We toured it along with 2 others on our 5th anniversary, which was 3 weeks ago this Friday. We liked it so much that we put in our offer right away, also because we knew they were having an open house that weekend and wanted to be first in line. Our offer was on the lowball side, but we were hoping we'd get the sellers to meet us in the middle. We countered back and forth several times but they finally accepted our final offer late Tuesday night! And it wasn't a moment too soon - they received another offer like an hour after accepting ours. I got the call from our REA with the happy news while I was still in bed!
We've been officially looking since March and of all the houses we've seen, this is the only one where we wouldn't be making a single major compromise. It's in the perfect location, is the right size, nicely updated but with original charm, nice yard, fruit trees, move-in ready, walking distance to lots things including the school Kyva will attend and an awesome park, etc. etc. (Ha - can you tell I've been reading lots and lots of real estate listings?) So inspections are happening this Tuesday and if all goes according to plan we'll close on 6/24. Exciting but EEK!
And because we all love PIPs, here's one of the front:
