property Virgins

I always knew that purchasing a house is not an easy task. There is a lot of fine print to worry about and a lot of tiny details to consider. You always have to be at the top of your game making sure you know what the next move could be. So the great news is that our offer was accepted and we will finally be purchasing a condo that we LOVE!!! but there was a price to pay and not just the monetary value...the first few days plus the time until the final approval, documentation, deposit, closing, etc. are not very pleasant. We werent sure that our offer will actually be accepted but it was and the funds were not ready for deposit...and that scared me a lot! Anyhow in the end it worked out. There is still a lot to do and I will try stay calm buy pouring my thoughts here!

Playing the waiting game.....

We actually found a place we like...we love it...its convenient...very clean with new appliances etc. We have made an offer...its actually our second offer and now we're waiting for their response. We seem to have a chance on this one. Ok so the problem is......I HATE WAITING....I have now realized it more than ever....I hate it....this is reminding me of the time when I applied for colleges and was waiting to get accepted. I get all nervous and uneasy....and my mind gets completely occupied with thoughts only concerning what I'm waiting for. I start to get in to the next steps eventhough I dont even have a positive decision yet. I did the same thing back when I was waiting on college apps. It sucks to wait if its out of my control!

Shopping around!

Not the kind of window shopping I love...I mean I think that I can actually call myself shopaholic...ok maybe not as intense as Isla Fisher but I can go to a fantasy land )where I'm completely stress free) when I shopbut I know how to control myself. Ok so that's not the kind of shopping I'm talking about today. This is where actual decision making and careful consideration of many little details is involved. I'm talking about shopping for a home. As I mentioned in my last post, hubby and I are currently looking to finally buy our own place. I'm so excited to finally go ahead and buy but there are times when I think it tougher than I thought. There is a lot to think about...for instance today we looked at two properties. One had a lot of upgrades and obviously the price tag was up there too but the other was a similar condo without the upgrades and the price was a lot less. I mean there is a lot out there. People spend a little bit of money on fresh appliances, lights, paint etc. and put a high price on it eventhough their upgrades dont even cost that much. I'd rather just buy the simple one and upgrade it myself. But I guess its not that simple. Anyhow I'm on the path to buy...wish me luck!
