Update on Buying a House

I was too busy Monday to update, but I’m here now. Things have happened…

Great things! Appraisal has already been done and is just a smidge over our offer (exactly $250) that was accepted, which means we get to continue to go through with our loan.

The home inspection and a pest inspection was done. I was so worried that with wood siding that there would be termites or dry rot and other creepy crawlies. Currently, the AC isn’t working so we’ve requested the sellers to get the HVAC system serviced to be up to standards. Now, this is a house from 1953, so it’s got some character, and it does have other projects that need doing eventually, but we can pretty much get those completed without breaking the bank. so with a few things, this home will be ready to move into!

I am so excited we are moving forward in buying our first house! Our lender has been very efficient also in helping us get to closing.

I’ve already decided what colors to paint the wallpaper rooms!

I can’t wait to host a wallpaper peeling party to get rid of the fuzzy wallpaper. And a gardening party to get the plants under control. Hopefully we can do social things safely and soon. I can barely wait to enjoy hosting family and friends.

I AM SO HAPPY and SO EMOTIONAL. Soon, we will have a home of our own!
