We bought our first house today! - Toyota Yaris Forums

*MAD DOG* · 02-15-2009, 03:46 AM

After months of looking and stressing we bought our first home today.

Here is a link. http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...&tm=1234683519

It's in a good neighbourhood. 2 min drive to a grocery store, shops and train station. We are very happy. We get to move in in 30 days!

True and it's deep too, plenty of room for two Yaris or a Yaris and boxes of stuff.

Hmmm, whoever is home first will get garage. But, I hate being blocked in so i'll prob let my wife park in there most of the time.

600k+ is way expensive. Housing in America, the land of opportunity is a fortune. Don't worry your time will come and you'll have a mortgage noose hanging around your neck for 30 years.

Good deal mate! Congrats!

33OH · 02-15-2009, 09:14 AM

Congrats MD! Looks nice! =)

*MAD DOG* · 02-15-2009, 09:18 AM

Thanks ryank, can't wait to move in. Can't believe i've paid rent for two years when a mortgage on my own property will be cheaper.

marcus · 02-15-2009, 09:21 AM

congrats.. rate is pretty low right now take advantage..

*MAD DOG* · 02-15-2009, 09:24 AM

Our mortgage will be cheaper than our rent. :) should have done it sooner.

SailDesign · 02-15-2009, 10:28 AM

MadDog - congratulations! It's a great feeling, no?

PreciousPups4U · 02-15-2009, 10:34 AM

Yes, wonderful news.

And you can put a nail anywhere you want and paint it any color.

Tip: Remember to put a bit extra away each month (maybe the difference between rent and now mortgage) to cover unexpected repairs that would have been covered by a landlord before. Like hot water heater, stove, heating/air stuff, etc.

Hmmm, hardwork and me are like oil and water, we don't mix

The front is a bit of a jungle, will get someone in to adjust it.

Seeing as you've paid yours off, you might be missing that 30 year mortgage, want to make payments on mine?

Yup, will start a savings account. Can't wait to put our wedding photos up, been in storage for over two years!

WILL start? normally, the process goes save money THEN buy a house, not the other way around.

Congrats on the house though!
