In a little more than a week from now, should everything go as smoothly as from when it started two weeks ago, we are scheduled to close on the house that we chose. I can't say that it is our dream house but it's a pretty darn good house to start with - a charming colonial on the side of a hill, in a quaint neighborhood, a few miles from the city. The house is in move-in condition although we have a few updates in mind already for some areas in the future.
Someone told me five years ago that if we didn't buy then, we would never be able to afford anything ever. And she was actually voicing a fear that I had, but somehow my faith kicked in and I responded, "If God wants us to have a house, He will give it to us at the location that we want, and at the price we can afford." True enough, we found this house in the place we've dreamed of living at a price that we would consider miraculous for the area. Who says God doesn't grant us our dreams if we allow Him to work on it?
Please pray for a smooth and speedy closing. :)

Piatot, congrats on making the big decision!!! It's a joy to get your own place and do whatever you want with it.
I am sure you will keep all your friends posted.
Love from Mike and Gina Harnett
Thanks, Gina and Mike! We can't wait until we can afford to do the renovations we want. We still can't believe this is all happening until we get the keys in our hands, I guess. Hopefully, that's in a few more days. :)
Congratulations on your house acquisition!
As one following the housing market quite religiously here in California, the time is indeed ripe for the buyers to come in, though if based on past experiences, then the market is still likely to move downward some more.
But I know that even at this time, many sellers or developers are offering sweetheart deals to prod otherwise hesitant buyers.
Thanks, Amadeo! It feels good to finally take that leap of faith. I still can't believe it. I was prepared for a nightmarish home-hunting experience, but was like a path was set for us and we just breezed through it. I guess God meant for it to happen now. :)
