Mona- your closing date is the same as my "tentative" closing date!!! Sending positive vibes that you and I will be able to close on that date (or sooner, preferably). Keep me posted with your progress and best of luck with a speedy, drama free closing!!!!

Good Luck to All Y'All. I found my louse last year 7/26 and closed and had the keys on 8/19/11. It was such an exciting time so I'm excited for you all, too - stay positive and everything will work out!

nice houses, everyone!

PS: Look forward to knowing that even after a year, the thrill of owning your own home is still as good as ever. For my house birthday, I'm re-doing the hardwoods. Fun Times.

We closed Friday! Very exciting to be homeowners again. We're moving in 6 days, should take us 2 days travel to get down there.

Congrats so glad you made it to your stop.

 It's being one heck of a ride for all of us still on the train.

Follow up: Inspection came back, and looks like we're getting a new roof.  Condition was 3 layers of composite over cedar, which is a major no-no.  Insurance declined to cover the home and we had a term in our sales contract that any insurability issues are to be covered by the seller.  So, we dodged that $12k bullet.  Appraisal has come back without any issues.  Heading to underwriting today and we're two weeks from closing tomorrow!

I am a first time home buyer, my husband is currently deployed and I finally found a home we both liked!!! Everything is going by so fast, I do not know where I am at in this process. One minutes the appraisal was being done. Next, it is in underwriting. I am so nervous!!! My LO said she can have it done by the 31st. Is this possible??

Talked to my LO today....still in UW. My file was sent Fri AM. Tentative closing date is still 7/27. Would've maybe been out of UW sooner but I waited until my appraisal came back clear (yall know I was tripping over that d@minute appraisal, haha) before I got everything lined out with my homeowners insurance so Monday I got an e-mail from LO saying they needed that and then I guess I'm good to go!!! Had insurance agent fax everything over first thing this AM so hopefully will be able to close on 7/27 keep them positive vibes flowing my guys!!! And good luck to all of yall on each of your home buying journeys....hopefully my next post will be "I CLOSED!!!" ;D

I finally found THE house!

• Purchase Price:  $277,990
• Property: Two Story
• Submitted offer on: 7/1/2012
• Signed Purchased contract on : 7/2/2012
• Type of Loan: FHA
• Loan Rate: 3.75%
• Loan Application submitted: 7/5/2012

• Commitment letter received on: 7/24/2012
• Closing date: 7/27/2012
• Closed on: 8/1/2012 (delay in closing due to LO putting incorrect numbers on loan docs and then trying to "fix" caused more issues so finally escrow gave the final numbers. Hubby had to leave work early on 8/1 to get a cashier's check for $0.38. Despite the headache - we FINALLY closed!!

New construction with building paying 3% of closing costs and had pre-built upgrades. Got the house for about 25K less than other houses in the development for the same specs. Signing the docs tomorrow!
