The Cons
Late Saturday afternoon I signed both addendums to the real estate agreement and I have been an emotional wreck since.
Seriously, I have been crying off and on for over a day now. I have eaten way too much, I even smoked half a cigarette last night.
Two weeks ago I gave up on this whole real estate thing. I decided I wasn't cut out for it. The market is way too hot. I still have a considerable amount of debt from college and on credit cards; I am also finally in a place where I could seriously make a dent in that debt. I really, really, like my freedom. I love how convenient everything is in my current situation. My current situation is also temporary, or not. It is flexible. I enjoy day dreaming about the next chapter of my life, and where it will be taking place.
THEN this house happened. I said goodbye to it once, but it came back into my life. I did not accept it at first. My first reaction was, no, I am not interested. Of course, you can't be rude to fate. I had to see it again, just to make sure. I still liked it, but I wanted to pay even less. I offered 1,500 under my original price and it was accepted the next day. My heart sank, not jumped, when I learned of this news.
Are you seeing a pattern here?

Nolan had the exact same reaction when our offer was accepted. Our realtor told us that "buyer's remorse" actually is very common with a large purchase like a house, that is a pretty serious commitment. Nolan has gotten used to it, though, and now he couldn't be happier that we bought when we did. I don't think you'll regret it. And it doesn't really tie you down, because you always can sell, right?
"Can't be Rude to Fate"
