buying the house!
by sven at 10:41 pm
We're going to buy the house!
We've been renting. Back in December the landlord offered to sell us the house -- which includes both the unit we live in and the Scarlet Star Studios space. It took a veeeeerrry long time to decide whether or not we wanted to purchase. But finally, we decided to go for it.
Yesterday we made our offer -- and it was accepted on the same day! And today, we signed paperwork accepting the seller's, um, acceptance. Still in shock. Once things are set in motion, everthing goes so fast! ...Assuming no unforseen problems arise, we'll close May 1st. OMG!!!
Jacque and Mari -- being just too cool -- dropped by last night and gave us a ceremonial gingerbread house, which they whipped up immediately after getting my phone call. (Note the little cranberry hats!)
...Thanks guys!!!

I found that once we settled on a house that the process, all told, was much easier than buying a car. Excellent news.

thanks, guys!
we had a big advantage in that we didn't have to go through the "looking for houses" process. but why aren't other homeowners more freaked out about home loans? that's a LOT of money! even w/ 20% down! sven got through it by imagining it as more of a "refinance," simply changing the paperwork for who gets the money he pays each month.

Congratulations on having your own home to you both! What a creative idea to make a ceremonial gingerbread house!
Best of luck with it all, s
