First Time Home Buying

So the offer has been accepted...the inspection has happened...the appraisal has happened...now I just have to wait for closing and for the loan to go through. So many details...stressful to say the least. Some days I do wonder if it's crazy that I bought a home sight unseen. Last night I watched HGTV and there was an episode of "first time buyers" This couple living in San Diego, bought a home in Denver after only seeing pics their realtor took. It was nice to see that I am not the only one who bought a home off of the internet without doing a walk through first.
They were pleased when they finally got into their home. I think I will be too.

I am a little concerned about crime in the area...and to be honest I am not worried out having my stuff ripped off as much as something happening to my dog when I am not there. He is like our kid. I am not so worried about the diva cat...she can hold her own.
I think I may have to invest in an alarm system. After the new year we will drive to NY and pick up Frantastic's dog Max. So our cozy little house will be quite full. 2 adults, 2 small-med. dogs, one diva kitty.

I can't wait to get there. I can't wait to turn the key in the lock and walk the rooms imagining colors and decor. I am looking forward to meeting the neighbors and getting settled in.

Looking forward to the adventure of it all.
