Oh god. *is excited*

[paraka]

So, I haven't really been around LJ lately, what with my vacation, Easter and now, house hunting. That's right, I got pre-approved for my mortgage and am hoping to meet with a real estate agent tomorrow! I'm getting so excited!

I've been spending far too much time on MLS. I currently have 63 tabs open of potential places. I'm a little sad that all of them seem to be condos, I was hoping to avoid condo fees. Of the 200 or so places I've looked at in my price range, only about 8 have been freeholds. Still. I don't think a condo would be bad for me, it just seems like a lot when you're paying $200+/month for things like snow removal. Ah well.

Also, it's a little weird right now trying to figure out what part of the city I should look in. I'm planning on busing when I'm on my own, and I know that with the way the buses are set up (most of the routes go through downtown) sometimes living closer to where I work won't mean a shorter commute.

Oh god, oh god, oh god. Soon *crosses fingers* I'm going to be a home owner!

Congratulations! I've gone the building my own house route and am now in a retirement village, and there is nothing like the feeling of knowing it's yours.

Even if it is technically the bank's... *g*

Iiiii, so cool!! 8D I'm planning to move out this summer, though I'll be renting with some friends... but it's my exciting home news of the moment.

Yours is more exciting, though.

That's awesome! Sadly I have spent plenty of time on MLS before even though I won't be buying a house for another 10 years or so. Hope you find something good!

Are you sure you don't want to buy one someplace warmer like say...California? ;)
