Finally Purchased a House

Congrats! I love the angularity of the house lines and all of those windows! Plus, I'm having washer/dryer envy! :p

May you have much love, laughter and the makings of wonderful memories in your new home!
 
congrat on the new house! big garage and skylight in the bathroom - doesn't get much better than that!

and you have a GTSPEC kitchen! lol
 
Congrats on the home. There is nothing like having a place to call your own.

I love the angles and all the windows. It just seems like such a chill place. Plus the yard is nice as well. I like your color choices for inside also.

Your dad being a realtor must have been a HUGE help.

My wife and I got our first home 2 weeks before we got married and we just love the place. We've had it a little over a year now. Its in a good neighborhood with really friendly people. Its not perfect, but we love it anyways.

Next home will have a garage for sure but for now I'll settle for off street parking.

1600 sq. ft. for 97K FTW!!!!!! :)

BTW, I have garage envy!

Thanks man, yea we had a hell of a time getting the house, there was always something that had to be dealt with.

My Wife is an Interior Designer, so I left all the colors to her, and it seems that we are basically remodeling the kitchen now, oh well.

Yea I told my Wife that I wanted at least a two-car garage.

Area is everything here, and we are dab smack in the middle of it.

We got our house for 123K

300k might get you a nice/new 1br condo in baltimore unless you want to live out in the sticks...I hate this place...I'm looking right now for a new place...

all houses that are 300k here need work...it's a shame unless you find a steal somewhere

btw...great looking house man...enjoy it!

Thanks, we are hoping by the time it is time to sell it we have plenty of equity in the house.

s***, not Cali or the Northeast..lol! Here in Texas, you get a lot of house for your money. 300k would get you twice as much house here Donas64.
 
Congrats! That is an awesome price for that home. What are the property and school taxes like out there?

Wine Country is an awesomely beautiful place though. Was there in 2005.

Also, that is a house payment for like close to a $300,000-$400,000 house here!
