I'll be a home owner soon!
Hey all,
Quick update! I'm so excited and nervous! Last weekend we had a home inspection at our prospective house. Found out that it needs a new roof in the next couple of years. So that was disappointing. We put our offer down 10 grand and told them we were holding firm. They made us wait 2 days before they answered, but they accepted! Hope we can handle this!
Any advice or encouragement (please!) :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the most exciting things I've ever done was walk into our home the day it was ours! Very good work asking for the price consideration. Start saving for the roof now! :)
Some thoughts- before you go out and buy all new furniture, stuff for the bathroom, etc. I really recommend taking a little time to live in the house (using what you have now), get the feel for it, and see what stuff will really work for you and what you really need.
That, and a little paint (or lot of, for that matter) and your own decorating sense go a long way :) We were really lucky in that we were able to paint everything before we moved in. If you have that opportunity, take it!
Keep us posted on how the house is coming! When's your closing?
Buh-lieve me, all that stuff you don't need right away...I lived in my house for over a year with no walls, part of the winter with no insulation, or heat! Do little by little and don't overwhelm yourself...take your time to really make it your own! You will appreciate it much better when all is said and done...I know I do!
Oh BTW...My house will mostly be done sometime in March, I will be having a HUGE Party to celebrate and all you gals are invited!
Andrea,
Congratultions on your new home. That is very exciting. I wish I could give you some advice, but I have not bought one before. I am sure that i will be beautiful though. Good luck
Congrats Andrea!!
