To buy or not buy the house...

Magic_Man · 06-28-2008, 09:56 PM

Found the house I want. Great closet space, 2 car garage, huge rooms, blah blah. Doesn't NEED anything, but I want to rip up the carpet & put in laminate flooring & yank some wallpaper. The bathrooms could use an update, but when it gets done it gets done.It's $500 a month over what I planned to spend, but the more I look the more I see I can't get what I want for the max I wanted to spend. I can afford it, but don't want to spend $2k a month. I could suck it up & take the plunge or I can keep looking and hope to find something halfway decent for a good chunk less. I guess I'm just cheap.

IT'S A BUYERS MARKET, AND PRICES ARE STILL FALLING. Be patient. An extra $500 a month will get old real fast.

Yeah, after awhile you'll be wishing you had those $500 bucks back every month.

That, or negotiate it like a mother****er.

The negotiating has already been done.
