Well, in 10 minutes, my husband will be at the closing of our first FL house!!! I am so excited. BUT, a little sad as well. I really wish I could have been there, but I had to stay behind with the sale of this house and for the kids with school and all. I signed all of my paperwork and mailed it back, but it wasn't the same. But, never the less, in a little while, I will be an official florida homeowner.

Congrads Minniemom!!! Boy, that was quick! I wish I was at that point....unfortunately though we are in a lawsuit with our builders (for over 9 years) and are still awaiting trial. We hoped to be over this nightmare by the end of spring and have the house sold and moved by fall but we just got a letter in the mail the other day about ANOTHER continuance. I was so upset! Good luck in your move!!!!

Congrats!

Just so you know, it's customary for all new home owners in Florida to buy the natives a round of drinks. I'll have a rum and Coke.

Congratulations and what a coincidence....we close on our house today as well! We close at 2:00.... we are buying in Port Orange (just south of Daytona Beach). We've been living in Ormond Beach (just north of Daytona) for the last 5 months while we decided where we wanted to buy.

Congrats to you and us! :-)

What part of Florida are you buying in?

Thanks for all of the good wishes! He just called a little while ago and to say he's got the keys!!! I can't believe it. Now, I just have to finish packing up this place and go to the closing up here on LI. I can't believe the difference between the states with the closing proceedings. In NY, they drag out forever!! We'll be paying two mortgages for a month or so - oh well - looks like bread crumbs for dinner!

It's in Spring Hill - which I think is a good location for us. My inlaws are in Inverness and my cousins are in Lithia, so we're close enough, but not too close for drop ins!

Shedav - Sorry to hear about your ordeal with the builders. I hope things ar resolved quickly for you - I know moving is stressfull enough without having other problems involved. I feel for you!

FLimpressions - I thought all Floridians were supposed to buy ME a drink - so I can get so drunk that I won't notice or care about the cost of the insurance premiums. LOL

RedWF - Good Luck on your closing today as well. We'll have to meet with Florida impressions so he can buy us both a drink!! Let us know how everything goes!

Congrats, Minniemom. Nice to hear some excitement around the board. Let's see...I'd like a Strawberry Daquiri with vodka instead of rum, please. No whipped cream.

We just put our NY house on the market this week. Kinda scary, isn't it? Today, the realtor is hosting a sort of open house for other realtors so they can check it out. Keep your fingers crossed.
