I am in the process of purchasing my very own home. It is a little 4 bedroom townhouse in the city. I made my first bid on it yesterday, have to wait to hear back. It is exciting but scary too, because it is a lot of money and it feels like your signing your life away, but you can always sell it again however. Plus you end up paying a lot of interest on it. It is a little more expensive than renting but at least I would own it. Just wanted to share!!!

Well I got it now there is only the legal fees (damn lawyers, sorry Timber) to work out, paper work, and moving expenses. I got a reduction of $6,000 on the bid but tried for $8,000 as well as got them to toss in the washer and dryer with it.

It would have been hard to find without the agent. She took me out a couple days to look andmost of what I saw I did not like. But this one was really nice. I can move in at the end of the month. Which kind of sucks because I am going to have to pay the full rent at my current apartment.

Congrat pritchke! I just bought my first home a year and a half ago, it was nerve-wracking waiting on the them to accept the offer, then have to go through the endless reams of home loan paperwork. Not sure how it is in your neck of the woods, but in the states it takes an average of 4 inches of paperwork to buy a house, lol [img]smile.gif[/img] I almost got writers-cramp when having to do all the final signings.
