in general in life, it’s a let down to get what you’ve wanted…

in the case of real estate, not sure that’s always true.

i am wondering if people who wait longer and look harder and save more tend to be more satisfied.

8 years has to be at the end of the waiting curve….I wouldn’t say I waited 8 years…probably more like about 5 years from the time my wife really started itching to get a place and complaining about not having one.

I would rate my satsifaction personally with homebuying ultimately as a 9.5/10.
