Congrats and good luck with the house.Random, non-music ...
How the fuck does anyone buying a house ever decide on a place without extreme anxiety? Do people hold out for the "perfect" house in their price range, or do people find one they feel comfortable in that might have a few flaws they can live with?
I've done a complete 180 this year, from "buy a house? In Seattle? On my own? LOLOLOLOL no way, that's terrifying and no way" to "hey, I can afford more house than I thought and look at the options that are there in my price range and hey, I'm totally ready for a house oh god, what am I doing???"
In music news related to home buying, I'm paring down more of my CDs. I mean, I'm ridiculous. My future small home will not have room for all of this stuff, I'm sure.
I found house hunting to be very stressful (of course I was looking at the height of the boom back in the early 2000's so prices were insane), but finally found something, 1/2 mile from the ocean in a good neighborhood with a good school system that we could afford.
It beats the hell out of renting.
Don't be afraid when putting in an offer to ask for whatever you want to (like the closing cost thing you mentioned), worst thing is they say no. But if they are motivated to sell and you have a legit offer, they are likely to bend a little bit on some things.
