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!
Congrats to you also. As a historical reference I bought my 1st home in SD County in 1997 which turned out to be just after the market turned up from its prior bottom. It felt expensive but we loved the area we bought in. We moved up 2 years later. It turned out to be a great decision that didnt feel so great at the time but rather felt about right. I think you will likely be happy with your purchase in the long run.
