Buying a house

[Cincy'sMom]

Ralph bought this house before we were engaged, in '99. We refinanced a few years ago, so that was my frist experience witht he closing and all that.

Just last night, we started seriously kicking around the idea of moving. Not far, just out of Toledo and to Sylvania (all of about 5 10 miles away). Ralph's sister has decided to move to Arkansas,and has given us first dibs on their house. They would be selling it to house for what they owe (less then it is worth)...bigger yard, more space, and better school system then we have now. And for a short while, it may come with the option of a 19 yr old (who pays rent) and her cat (my neice is staying here to finish school, and we have said whether we buy that house or not, she would be welcome to live with us if she didn't want to get an apartment right away). Lot of options to weigh right now....

CONGRATS on the house.

I remember when we bought this house, I was a little like you said, not as excited as I thought I should have been, happy, but not that jumping up and down happy. Maybe it's the stress of just buying a house, house payments, repairs etc etc., that can take a little of the jump out. lol


But wait till the day you pay it off, JUMP JUMP FOR JOY, DAY I remember coming home from the bank with that final payment made, so happy, I couldn't sit still.........It was all mine, not the banks and mine.............BUT MINE!
