agh twitch

You might say that the month in which you took a pay cut is not the month to be putting in a bid on a house that is as much house as you can possibly afford. But it's a house I could forsee staying in for 15 or 20 years, or longer. Sufficiently roomy. INGROUND POOL!. Small tidy garden that I won't have to knock myself out trying to care for, but still enough to get my diggin' on. Same area, so still walking distance from sushi and but not actually part of Radburn, so no fees and no wacky regulations.

I am 90% sure we are going to do this, if the banks turn a benevolent countenance upon our needs. But OMG TWITCH.

Best of luck. *sends lots of good karma/mojo in your house-buying direction*

When figuring out "as much house as we could afford," did you take into account the pool maint costs, including property tax boosts and the like? My sister and her husband recently got a house with an inground pool, and they're finding the pool to be a bit of a money pit (and removing it would cost about ten grand).

Best of luck (and skill, and savvy) on the house bid.
Do we get an MLS number?

*crosses fingers for you* I totally understand your garden woes, as I have had the both too big and too small problems. Here' hoping.
