So how does it feel? Do you feel like you've got this huge responsibility? Any tips for me? I think another 4 months or so and I'll be posting this exact thing

I haven't had to make a mortgage payment yet, so the whole responsibility thing hasn't kicked in yet.

Come September 1st, that will change.

Congrats on the condo though, welcome to the life of house payments, we just bought our first one in Jan of this year.

LOL, that's what visitor parking is for.

How long did it take you to adjust to making the payments?

Cool, place, and great price!

But...."Condo Fee: $213.02/month" OUCH!

That includes a special assessment of ~$43.00/mo for the next couple of years to pay for the new roof. After that, the fees drop, so it's not so bad.

They wouldn't budge so much on the price as the housing market is pretty hot up here, so I got them to throw in all that stuff. It works out great for me because all of that stuff is new, and i'm a first time homeowner so I don't have to drop a huge wad of cash on appliances, etc.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Yes when? I have hauled my antec 1030 and 17"er out to waterloo for lesser reasons.

Most of my friends and I have already done our tour of duty streaking down University Ave. (don't ask )

I move in on August 30. Not too long from now...

 

[schmedy]

It didn't take any time at all to get used to the payments since I was paying 1200 in CA for renting a condo, my house payment in VT is only 1500, and that is 2x the size and I have 12 acres of land too.

 

[hzl eyed grl]

Congratulations! It looks nice.
