so we’ve been at this forEVER and it might actually happen soon. after having house after house fall throw, never at our hands, we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. after having a house fail inspection and moving on we just had our offer accepted on another house that we have higher hopes of passing. hopefully all will go smoothly from here and we’ll be in our new house by the end of august :) i’ll keep you posted!
back at it again
5 months ago
we’re back at it again with our lease up in 2 months. we got all the way to the inspection process on one house but it failed bad so we’re still looking. it’s more fun this time but i’m still sooooo ready to get settled in somewhere permanent and finally get my office i’ve been dreaming of! unfortunately it’s really hard to find something good in our super low price range… we shall see and i will keep you posted :)

Credit Crunch…it means there’s no more 95% mortgage these days!
It’s fine for me, because I personally believe in saving up a BIG sum as down payment to minimise the interest cost. Being thankful to everything I have – a job, a shelter and a tiny bit of saving! Working hard to save more and more….

I bought my first house just over a year ago, and its been my proudest moment so far because not only was I young (21) I also bought it on my own.
Money has been tight since but I’m not quite in poverty so so far no regrets. Especially because if I had waited until this year I would have probably being put off from doing it because of the economic climate at the moment.
I have a fixed mortgage which will hopefully work out well for me.

we got our mortgage approved, first time home buyers, looked for about 5 months and even put in an offer or two but everything fell through (to no fault of our own thank you very much) and eventually we just got sick of it all and stopped looking. we found a really nice apt and signed a lease for a year so we’ll start looking again then (need a break from it with all the stress it causes) so will have another update then :)
