Well, I close on Thursday. I am paying 130k, with the seller paying 3k in closing costs. The home just appraised for 155k.

1000 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 1/4 acre lot.

Yay! The house looks great. Wish I had a yard, when we bought our house 3 years ago we could either afford enough room inside or a smaller house with a yard. Although round here the cats would only fill it with crap, so probably just as well. :?

Congratulations! Brick! It's a very exciting thing to buy a house, I bought my first (and I'm not young) 9 months ago. Mine uh needs work too! I've been working on screening shrubs to hide the neighbours houses and a garden. You'll love mowing! not!

Awesome. They could film That '70s Show in your kitchen! Gotta love the smooth ceramic cooktop. And especially that - uh - wall covering. Seriously, congratz.

Some day when I can afford a down payment (or can buck up the confidence to talk to a bank), I'll consider a house of my own. I've got the area picked out and I'm hoping it won't be far from work, wherever that happens to be when the time comes.

Nice house!! ! Hehe, the linoleum/tiling(not sure what it's called, exactly) is exactly the same as in my kitchen/bathroom. It was already in when we moved in, though. It's quite impractical, the texture of the design makes it very hard to keep clean :lol: :? :P

Nice house. You people have long roads over there: No. 3711 8O .

Nothing wrong with that kitchen, not much different to mine!

That's nothing, many houses around here have five digit house numbers. I think the biggest one I ever saw was in the 30000 range, close to 40000.

Well, a lot of people at work volunteered to help me move, which is really neat. We will move my stuff and then have a barbecue on my new patio!

It makes me feel better that so many people volunteered. It makes me feel a lot less lonely.
