We have bought a house!!! No more renting!!! YAY!!!

[XRchic]

Yes, Eamon and I have bought a house! We are so excited and cant wait to move in!!! You see, I have been paying rent since 1992 and I have worked out that I have paid around $95K in rent. I am sick of paying rent, I am sick of routine inspections, paying bond, losing bond and sick of paying off someone else's mortgage!

We were going to build, in Mt Barker however the builder was going to take too long and it was turning into a real drama. So we saw a really nice place up for sale in the same area (same estate even) and decided to buy it! We went to have a look at it and fell in love with it, made an offer and the offer was accepted!!!

We are now tying to sell the block we bought a while back, so we can use the money we make from it, to go towards the house. Settlement day for the house looks like being mid to late July, so we should be moving in around then.

We are going to have a massive housewarming party in around September and hopefully a few of you guys from Vic will come along as well as the usual SA guys! It is going to be the XRchic/Cobra Party House (tm)!

The house has 3 bedrooms plus a massive rumpus room which can be converted to a 4th bedroom or a pool room or something! Two bathrooms, nice kitchen and it is on a 800m2 block. It has a double lock up garage for both our cars, and also out the back is a double car shed! Eamon still drools when he sees pics of that shed! We thought of putting a hoist up, but I dont think the shed is tall enough.

It also has a really great undercover pergola area out the back which will be great for the BBQs and drinking!

Anyway, I dont seem to be able to put pictures up of the house (I seem to have reach my limit with pics on AFF) so I have just included the link, where there are heaps of pics.
