UPDATE: Busy Weekend (house hunting)

Hi Ladies!

Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed.... after a few counteroffers back and forth, we settled on a number and we're on our way to buying our first home!!

Now for a crazy month and a half of inspection (which needs to be done within 10 days... 5 of which we'll be away for), purchase and sales agreement, and closing!!

If anyone has been through purchasing a house and has any tips or recommendations or wants to share their story, I'd love to hear it!

Goodness, who knew so much happiness could be so stressful too!!!



My favorite room... dining open to kitchen, with wide plank pine floors, wainscoting, and a pellet stove built into the chimney... so lovely!


Looks tiny in this picture, but it's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath cape, with in-ground heated pool behind... I know where I'll be de-stressing from wedding planning!

  • That is SO exciting! So glad everything worked out... and hoping the inspections and closing all go smoothly! I have no advice, but in a year when FI and I buy, you should be able to provide me with advice! :)

  • Wow. Awesome news. So excited for and good luck with the closing. My FI bought a townhouse late last year so I can help a bit but he did most of the work.

  • So cute! My parents are in a cape cod and it's adorable! Congrats on the HUGE check!
  • How exciting!!! Your home is so cute -- I'd love to have a house like this.  We are still renting, so I don't have any advice for you, but just wanted to say I think you made a great choice and congrats. :)

    Ya, I'm in the same boat sort of. We're making the decisions together, but FI is handling the mortgage aspect and until we're Mr and Mrs, it will just be his name on everything. Makes me feel a little useless, but I'm trying to help out as much as I can!

    Thanks for all the well-wishes ladies!

  • Congrats Audrey! I have bought a house before and all I would advise would be to read all of the details of the mortgage contract (so that you know what you're in for in regards to fixed mortgages, years of terms, interest, etc.) Other than that, enjoy!
