My story (VERY nervous!) First time buyer!

Congrats! I remember our first close. It took a Herculean effort to close on time-only hours to spare. Never once buyer's remorse. I wish the same for you.

Congrats! When we bought our house, I wish I had stock in Lowe's along with a discount would have been good!
Not sure where you live, but do you have Giant Eagle grocery stores around? or another grocery store that sells gift cards? The Giant Eagles here in Ohio sells Home Depot gift cards and then you get money off your gas. It's a good deal. I think Krogers sell Home Depot too. Lowe's isn't sold outside of their stores. Good way to save a little, you'll need it.

well I have to say I'm a bit jealous of how fast you closed. We have no debt of any kind, are putting 30% down, great credit scores, and they're still dragging their feet! It will be about 6-7 weeks for us between our offer being accepted and closing (if nothing else goes wrong!)

Congrats on your new house! We can be buddies over at the "house" forum as we both spend too much time in Home Depot now
