The last week of June 2021, we announced our resignations from our full time jobs with a plan to travel the US for 3 months, embarking on what affectionately became known as our National Park road trip
One year later, during the last week of June 2022, we closed on our first home
Wild what can happen in a year’s time
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’ve done literally the most impossible thing in 2022
We bought a house at asking price
In a post pandemic market dominated by bidding wars
Where houses are under contract the same day as listing
Selling 30 to 40k over asking
With buyers waiving home inspections
Insanity
Thankfully,
Incredibly, we didn’t have any of that
And we did it on our own with no financial assistance
My second greatest accomplishment in life
And now the count down until we take possession in mid August
While I dread the thought of packing and moving
We both are so excited for this next chapter in our lives together as homeowners
Winning lottery numbers would be much appreciated
We have a lawn mower, washer, and dryer at the top of our to buy list
(Because we already bought a smoker)
Until next time, Meryn
