SkinsHokieFan Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 The 18 month oddysey is finally over After many offers, losing to cash bids or people wanting an 8k tax credit, I finally got what I wanted A house (3 bedrooms, its in excellent shape), with a nice yard, inside the beltway (in Falls Church) for 300k. Very excited about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited about this. Hey congrats! My wife and I just bought a house in October, but we've been searching pretty much the whole year. Ours was a short sale. So the price was $70K less than what the previous owner bought it for in 2007, but the we had to wait at least 3-4 months for an approval from Fanni Mae. Anyhoot, it feels good to be a homeowner. Good luck on the moving, because that can be a *****. It took us almost 3 weeks to get all our stuff in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sweet SHF. Made up that hanging in there has paid off in the perfect house for you by the sounds of it. I feel your frustrations, having gone through a house sale this past June. I presently sit typing this in my mom's house, the money in the bank working for me, as I frustratingly wait to start my American odyssey. Not exactly the path I had planned when the house first went up on the market, but the chance to go through the college experience, all be it as a "mature student", lol; brings home again how surprising life can be. Again, happy as for you and yours on your new "purchase", smiles. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Congrats! Sleepy Hollow, not too far away from me. I think Gracelander lives close by as well. Looks to be in decent shape, now you've just got to tweak it to your own standards and tastes. I imagine you've already got ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I know you are so excited. That's great. I remember my first house and how confident and proud I felt, and then how overwhelmed I thought I might become. Lucky for me the only crazy part was deciding what colors to paint the rooms. Congrats. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
