A little over a week ago, the house was appraised for the
bank. Today my loan officer informed me that the house appraised at the sale
price. I have also satisfied the underwriter’s conditions. My role now is to
shop around for Hazard insurance. Which means that we are about two to three
weeks away from closing. I am one step closer to buying a home. And it’s a
pretty exciting yet overwhelming feeling at the same time. I am happy. This has
been a goal of mine for so long that along the way there were many times that I
doubted that it would come to fruition. But I am scarred as all hell. The amount of responsibility terrifies me. I
truly feel that now I am a grown up.
When I started this blog a year ago, I was in contract on a two bedroom cooperative in Brooklyn, NY. I was very enthusiastic about getting the property and I started planning my design strategies. A year later after being denied by the coop board for the property, I have taken a bit of a break from my home search. I will still update the blog from time to time. However, I am less enthusiastic about the property search and haven't really seen a coop that grabs my attention like that first apartment did. There are certain things that I do not want to compromise on such as location, price and bedroom space. I haven't become a homeowner just yet but I haven't lost all hope of that happening. It just may take a longer time and I'm ok with that.
