Congratulations! That is very exciting news

Congratulations!!! It's an awesome feeling. We just became home owners after selling our unit and we couldn't be happier! Enjoy the freedom and put a few picture hooks in your walls (just because you can!) x

Weeeeeeeeee, you must be so excited Teirae! Had you been house-hunting for a while? It's such a good feeling to farewell horrible landlords forever.

Ugh, stamp duty is the WORST. That made me wince more than the actual mortgage. But hey, totally worth it!

[kimmi]

Oh can I ask a question?? In your state, did you have to pay a $1000 or so fee to register your house with the department of environment? I was shocked at this considering no-one has been able to tell me exactly what I got for that money!

congratulations

thanks everyone,
No Kimmi, i've never heard of that ever! and no one has mentioned it to me! (im hoping thats not something they are going to spring on us later!)
yea, stampduty is the real kicker, as DH has owned a house before we dont get the first home buyers, which sucks...but also meant full stamp duty

Congrats! I remember picking up our keys and opening the door to our house too - it was the BEST feeling!

Enjoy it! There really is no place like home
