[quote=6packscaredy][quote=FlyerInHi]6pack, what kind of deal did you get on your house, percent off of peak?
I’m competitive. I want to know if I did as well.[/quote]
50-60 perc off. Call it 55. Buying the house left me kind of broke. But the truly smart move I made was to immediately start saving money right after we bought the house, nOt buying a whole bunch of furniture or other crap, and buying down the balance to a conforming 417k and refinancing at 3.375 percent about a year ago.
The reality is I will probably, if things continue to go well, G-d willing, never sell or leave or heloc so it’s that 2450 payment per month with taxes and insurance for an upper crust house and land that is the really good thing for me and my people.[/quote]
Great move to pay down and refi your mortgage, scaredy. Your timing (and luck!) was excellent.
Isn’t it scary how much less money you have after buying a house? Even though we’ve owned before, it seems that after buying this house we really had to reel in our spending. Not a bad thing…just pretty surprising how much of a difference it has made in our spending habits.
