house buying spring 2010

[william488]

I bought my first house in oct 09, I was 1 of 2 houses bought in my county last year. I paid 1,000 less then the owner was asking and I got a 5.15% rate. overall a good deal for me and a good deal for him. Our prices have not dropped much in our area, just no one buying or even attempting to purchase. my house is 1295 sq foot on the main, and a 700 sq foot basement, with a two car garage, built in 99, I paid 124,500, well the bank did now they own me for the rest of my life. sigh, but hey now I can fix everything instead of calling the landlord. oh wait, that sucks!!! lol i love my house.
