We bought our first house in 2005 and we have since upgraded once and we are still here. It’s not just the house but everything that’s part of the house (your family) that will build the roots
Congratulations and welcome aboard to the home owners club. Will make you a jack of all trades doing the maintenance chores. YouTube and Google will be your best friends even more but be wise to decide when to hire a pro vs. DIY
It’s like a “guarantee”. There are lots of fine line type of things you make sure you’re aware of, but it’s basically something you pay annually for and then each time something breaks in the house (such as plumbing, your appliances and whatever else your contract covers) you call the warranty company, pay a small standard fee and then they come and fix or replace the item (as long as it’s all covered).
Check out first American home warranty or home shield.
Congratulations OP. When I actually first bought the house everyone asked how am I feeling but at that moment I didn’t feel anything. Instead of rent am mortgage was my perception. FF 8 Months I am happy camper because I can decorate, arrange per my taste.
It’s a huge purchase and can feel a little daunting at first but don’t feel anxious. I felt the same way but now looking back it was the best decision I made.
OP Congratulations, we signed for a home recently. Husband is beyond happy…Me-scared, anxious happy and everything.I keep telling my self to console that “we are paying rent for an apartment and it is not ours, Atleast home will be ours instead of rent we will be paying Mortgage”. Also once you move into your new home you will be happy, Good luck.
