Congrats on finding a house.
Wish somebody would buy my house!
Should go smooth if it is a straight forward transaction. Used to do marketing for a Title/Escrow Co. Not sure about where you are but here escrow fees are negotiable, not title fees cause that is basicaly insurance and state regulated. Most people don't know that if they ask for a reduced escrow fee they will get it. The escrow co. wants repeat customers and good referals. |

Its nice tha t you are still in town. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Most folks can't afford anything this side of the state line. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I'm a little colser to the beach than Joe Buckle. I bought my house in 1980 for $90K, Last summer the house next door sold for $690K

we paid $170K 6 years ago..... right around the corner a house just went for $620K+, on the market for 2 days and it has no improvements and needs work....I have no idea where these people are getting the money or working, there are no jobs near us that I know of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

Congrats! First houses are exciting and scarry at the same time.
Our first house we lucked out and bought in an area that went up in value faster than we expected. 4yrs later, we sold for 50% more than we paid. Made about 80K, and put it into our next place. Hope you have the same luck! But the first time the toilet brakes at 11:30 and there is no 'landlord' to call, you'll know why people are giving you crap.
