Well, I have a contract on a house!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first home, I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got pre-approved for financing on Tuesday and things have been going smoothly since then. The pre-approval process was a little more difficult than I had expected. Not that it took much effort on my part, but they are really looking at the applications to make sure the purchaser will be able to afford their living arrangements. This is really the first thing that I have noticed where I was effected by the economy. Two years ago, it would have been a piece of cake to get financing. Now, all the details have to be ironed out before they will pre-approve you.

Next step, home inspection!
