Congratulations. I was also going to post something similar – after nearly 10 years of thinking about it, and a good 5 years of reading this blog and others (BMIT, HBB, Jim K., etc), we’re in escrow too. Things came together for us (price, value, selection!) on a SFR that we (with two small kids) won’t grow out of. I still have great arguments for renting, and I’m bearish on housing in general – but it feels about right. I’ll have to just keep telling myself that!
