Big news in our neck of the woods, it is now official we closed last night we are now homeowners! We are so excited that it is now final. It has been a long but very exciting process along the way. We started scoping out neighborhoods about a year ago and once we had in narrowed down to a desired area we started attending open houses just to see what we could afford and what we liked. After we returned from our honeymoon we official started the search with our realtor.
Turned out our timing was great because when we were going to open houses during the summer houses were selling in a matter of days, most going into a multiple offer situation. Summer is the most popular time to buy in the area since parents are trying to move before their kids go back to school. Once we started hunting school was back in session and a lot of the craziness died down, however the inventory was also a tad lower but it worked out just fine.
After hunting with our realtor for about a month we had pretty much seen all our options in our desired area and knew which house was our best bet. We were excited to put in an offer, and it was accepted without a battle.
While we closed last night we will not get the keys to our new home until December 1st, so we have about a two week wait before its truly ours and we can start moving our stuff in. We have already started packing up our apartment and I am busy picking out paint colors for the walls. Our minds have really been on overdrive thinking about all the projects we want to tackle and what to do any buy first.
I cant wait to share the journey of home ownership with you all and any projects we take on so stay tuned!
