Here's the weird part: If you had asked us on Dec. 21 if we were going to buy a house in the next three (let alone two) months, we would have said no. "Maybe in the next year, definitly in the next three years." we would have said.
But our friend Julia (hi Julia!) e-mailed me on Dec. 27 and said "Hey, the house across the street from me's for sale - wanna buy it?"
So all that looking-for-a-house, waiting-to-see-if-this-is-the-house, having-that-offer-fall-through stress? None of that. Just looking at the house on Dec. 29, putting in the offer on Jan. 3, getting accepted Jan. 7, getting a loan (yes it's Fixed Rate), getting a lawyer, getting home ower's insurance, and closing! Everything was really smooth. Which is a great way to start a new phase in a new home.
