A few of you know that I (and a few other members) have/were house hunting. I closed on my new home at noon yesterday, and will be moving in this weekend. It truly took forever to find the right place, but I now have it. It needs minor cosmetic work inside, nothing some paint, drywall and a few reframings won't fix. I can't wait to start working on it - and that says something.....

So if your still in your own hunt - don't despair. The right one will come - and you might go through a lot to make the deal happen. But keep searching.

For those of you that know the sense of a burden removed once its all done - I envy you no more. Well, except the fact your already moved in.

WOOHOO!

Of course those of us forever condemned to live in low-rent apartments are green with envy, but I'm sure that doesn't bring you down at all.

Congratulations!

Congrats are in order!

Congratulations. Nothing beats laying down big bucks for something like a house, even if most of it belongs to the bank. May your mortgage be small and short lived.

Congratulations Capt. There's no place like your own place.

Now get to work.

Another little mortgage trick is to shift to a fortnightly repayment schedule. This means you make one whole extra monthly repayment each year shortening the term significantly.
