Homeowners – sort of

Our closing went off without a hitch. More than I can say for the rest of the process. For those that have followed this entire saga, it looks like our place is going to get certified as a three bedroom. This is amusing to me because we renegotiated the price (down obviously) when it appeared that it was a legal two bedroom. So now it looks like we got the price reduced and still got a legal three bedroom. Bonus.

The closing was a little less satisfying than normal since we don’t actually take possession for another week. It’s nice walking out with the keys.

On a related note, I was looking through some studies on stress (I have some self-interest here) and one of the high stress items was a “new mortgage over $100,000”. Either that statement is really old or whoever made the list doesn’t live in NY…
