Feelin' Posty

[tcepsa]

Did the paperwork to make an offer on a house last night. This house, to be specific (yes, both buildings are included--the one on the right looks to be a garage that someone remodeled into a guest house). It's exciting and scary all at the same time, and I hope to hear an initial response by Friday.

~grin~ Part of me can't believe I'm doing this. Most of me can't wait!

I celebrated making the offer with a candle-lit soak in a bubble bath with some of my favorite videogame music playing.

It counteracted the stress pretty well, I'd say ^_^

[EDIT: Link updated, though it may not be up too much longer; now that I've made an offer, many listings will take it down.]

Woot!

So whats the game plan? How are you using all that space?

[reedrover]

Congratulations! Wood floors and all!

Lemmie know when you are having your house warming. I still have your thank-you present for helping me load goats in June, too.

Is it fee simple property or ground rent? A lot of houses in Gwynn Oak are ground rent. Barring that it looks awesome!

[girlonaroad.livejournal.com]

Just checked, fee simple all right. That's a nice neighborhood too! I know a girl who rents a house near there. :)

Where will you be commuting to?

[tcepsa.livejournal.com]

Yep, looked at a couple that were ground rent but decided against them (mainly for other reasons, but it didn't help ;)

I'm really glad to hear that about the neighborhood--it seemed like a decent area to me the few times I've driven through there, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I'll be commuting down to basically where 32 and 29 intersect. It's about twenty minutes to half an hour, depending on traffic. My shortest commute yet!

Thank you! Right now I'm looking at late September/early October, but might push it back to November just depending on how crazy things are with other stuff.

~wry smile~ Hadn't thought much about that yet. Probably going to try to have a room for music and a room for crafts and a room for computers...

Really not sure what I'll be doing with the guest house yet. I've been strongly encouraged to think about renting it out, and that's a really tempting prospect, but I'm way too stressed with just all of the buying-a-house stuff right now to focus on that. So until then I'm thinking it'll be the home theatre--finally, a place I can set up my projector and use it to full effect! ^_^

Update the linky?

[elkor.livejournal.com]

Right now the link points to a listing for a One Bedroom Condo.

Re: Update the linky?

[tcepsa.livejournal.com]

Oops, fixed! Not sure how long it'll be accurate, though; now that I've made an offer, most places will stop listing it...

Dude....

[elkor.livejournal.com]

That's way the hell in Baltimore!

Whyfor do you forsake us so? We'll never see you!

This makes Bunny sad (see icon)

I'm trying to help you expand your horizons!

(Actually, it's because that's where houses I can afford and a commute I can stand are located ^_^)

And you will so see me--my attendance of Glen Echo functions is predicted to rise dramatically in the coming months ^_^ (by which I mean I plan to start going to stuff semi-regularly instead of semi-annually ;)
