my new home

[gregm]

Hi all, I haven't posted in awhile, have been doing some serious "house-hunting"......... I sure hope I am not to premature in saying this but I have an accepted offer on a home (small bungalow) in worcester and expect to close on MAR 25th. This is my first home purchase. It has a beautiful, clean, dry, bright basement for appliances with easy "walk-in" access off the driveway. I am sooooo excited about this. Please keep your fingers crossed for me and say prayers that the home inspection and all else goes well until I close. Thanks ........

Never moved to a place with no screens, but I know *all* about that not enough electrical outlets bugaboo!

 

[westytoploader]

And on top of that you'll have a bright new basement for your collection!

Good luck, Greg! That is so exciting. Hope everything works out just right. Is the basement big enough to hold all of your machines? You have quite a few.

Congrats! Buying a house was the second best thing I ever did--adopting a weiner dog was the first!--and it'll be the best thing you'll ever do. Don't get "buyer's remorse". It's so much fun to do stuff around the house and know that it's YOUR house!
My dad went to college in Worcester.

Yay!! Congrats!!

Just a bit of friendly advice -- look it over VERY closely. Even a professional inspector can miss things. He'll be looking for structural and integrity issues, not for "livability" issues. There'll always be something overlooked, like a scarcity of electric outlets in the kitchen, or a neighbor's security floodlight shining through a window in the wee-morning hours. If you can, take some time to sit in each room and visualize living there. Look for things that'll need to be tweaked and fixed to fit your needs so you'll be prepared for them.

Of all things to not notice, there are NO SCREENS on my windows, LOL!

 

[kenmore1978]

no screens

and these windows are meant to be OPENED?!

 

[tolivac]

On inspectors-I was nailed when I had to sell a home becuase the inspector didn't notice a bad roof-It was my mistake for not checking it-so don't take the inspectors word on everything!If anything is suspicious to you-check it out yourself!Guess you better ask the seller whre the window screens are?

You will always remember your first home. We have lived in many but always talk about our first in Houston in Garden Oaks just north of the Heights. 1037 Wakefield just off Ella Blvd. If things need to be done like painting, more outlets, carpeting or carpet cleaning ect. Do it before you move in. Much much easier than after you move in.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Greg it sounds wonderful! I'm keeping both my fingers and my eyes crossed for you.

I can't wait to see more pictures, I see another basement turned into a washer museum, YAY.

 

[tlee618]

Congratulations Greg!! I'm so happy for you!! I bet that you are on pins and needles waiting. I am sure there are a million things going through you mind that you want to do with the house. Do keep us posted. Terry

There is nothing like homeownership. It is the best feeling in the world when they drop those keys in your hand. Good luck and yes please do keep us all posted.
