House Closing!

Posted by Nathan & Valerie at 9:02 AM |14 comments
We own it!!

This afternoon Valerie and I signed the final papers on our home and are now home owners!! We are very excited.

The 2,400 square foot townhome has three bedrooms, three and-a-half baths, and a good-sized basement. The front yard is relatively small and the back is a nice patio. There is a good, little park behind our complex for the kid to play at and the association has a tennis court and pool.

It is also in one of the best school districts in the area, which is a bonus if we were to stay there for five years or so -- which is definitely NOT in my plans!

The hardest thing to swallow has been the fact that our bank account just went from very full to depleted - but it's a good thing -- "house poor." It's a good investment.

Last night we did the final walkthrough but I forgot to take a picture of us next to the SOLD sign in the front yard so after we signed the papers today I used the wife's camera phone to take a picture in front of the townhome (it's an end unit so we have more room and light than the others).

Congratulations! I am planning on going back east within the next year or two, so I'll definitely have to stop by and say hi. It's been forever since I've seen you!

Well even if you don't stay there for 5 years, being in a good school district will make it easy to sell!! Congrats you guys, that is awesome!
