New home
 

We (the wife and I) just got the keys from the bank on a foreclosed home that we bought way under it's value. We have been house hunting for quite some time, and we found a wonderful home out in the open area, west of KC. Today, we been outside, working on the landscaping, as there were alot of dead branches and some trees that needed to be removed.

Congrats man!

Thats a foreclosure? Looks very nice, almost brand new.

Congrats, man! Looks like a nice place. My wife would be jealous of your kitchen.

We close on our new place next Tuesday. I'm pumped.

Very nice, dude! Congrats!

Does the place have a sump pump?

Nice!! That basement looks like prime man cave territory!

And congrats to you!

I'm ****ing jealous; I want to buy a new house in the worst way, but the wife grew DEEP roots here.....

congratulations! Looks like a really nice house.... I would love a new place as well, but...I believe it would be more beneficial for the husband to find a job first.

Aren't there any nice houses where you are?

Define "nice"....

Congrats Coach!!!

I want to buy a house sooo soooooooooo bad.

Any plans on finishing the basement?

Apologies in advance to Coach for the partial thread hijack, but here are a few pics of our new place. Kid toys not included.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I've lived in apartments for the past 8 years or so, so I have a LOT of motivation to get out!

Yes, it's a foreclosed home. Looked like someone only lived there at least no more than 2 months, tops. The furnance and the AC are both marked 2008, so yeah, I'd say it's pretty close to brand new home.

Awesome. We also will be submitting a Form 1040X for the first time homebuyer credit.

Of course, I know that will take a while, so if anyone is submitting for a first time homebuyer credit, trust me on this, you'll be waiting for it for at least some time.

Yes it does.
