    We just finalized a contract on a house in the 'burbs, with a closing date of May 15. Locked in a great rate on the mortgage yesterday evening and everything. Holy shit.

    I'm SO glad I had my money in cash form — for the down payment and closing costs — and not in the markets before this all went down. I am slowly going insane in my apartment in Manhattan, and nothing would make me happier than to get the fuck outta here so I can enjoy more space and go outside without fear.

    • I don’t think anything he wrote is relevant to buying a home. Nothing he wrote even makes sense and his questions are even more nonsensical. Weird.monospaced

    • Congrats man. db’s comments about having to make up the difference in a mortgage based on buying over market value should offer some insight into how smartben_
    • He really is. But a home you can afford at a fair market price, based on comparables not market heat. Don’t be a deathboyben_

    • We live in a smaller city that gives us both room to breathe and raise a kid without the boredom of some suburbs. Selling our place in Toronto was the best moveben_
