Opened escrow on my first house.
When I got married six years ago my wife was dying to buy a house, so I took her shopping at Macy's; but I didn't let her buy anything. However, after waiting 3 months, I took her back to Macy's when they were having their Annual Sale, she spent the same amount of money but got way more stuff. I told her then at lunch that was how house shopping was.
See, here in Orange County, real estate went up like a rocket and with all the voodoo financing in place people were just going crazy. I told her that we were going to save cash and go shopping when the houses went on sale.
I am buying a nice house with a 40% discount from the peak of the boom. Also putting 10% down and getting a rate that is insane (probably will never have to re-fi because of rate).
If all goes well I will be a homeowner in the next 30 - 45 days...........
