My Odyssey Continues
My home buying odyssey continues with the closing date less than a week away.
My apartment is littered with boxes piled upon boxes and my stress level has been off the charts at times fueled by fears of a staggering economy and a lot of uncertainty about the mechanics of the home buying process. This is all new territory for me and it often feels overwhelming. I’m relying on others to guide me through this and the slightest lack of information causes me to worry and stress more than I would normally do on my own.
As of last night, I had no information from my realtor about the progress, or lack thereof, being made on the house. All I could do is assume it is still under construction with the Thanksgiving holiday and a weekend ready to consume three days of my remaining time to closing. I started having serious doubts about making the closing deadline. After a few emails and phone calls, my realtor finally gets back with me to say the house is supposed to be completed today (11-25) and should be ready for home inspection that afternoon. Since I didn’t know when the house was going to be completed, I couldn’t arrange for the inspection earlier.
To make a long story short, the house is supposed to be inspected at 3:00PM today with the closing tentatively scheduled for 10:00AM on Monday. I’m still nervous about taking on a mortgage and just want all of the stress to go away.

My Absence
I haven't posted in a while because I'm in the process of buying a house. It's been a time consuming and stressful few weeks for me. The closing is scheduled for November 30th.
