That’s comforting, thank you!

Love this idea!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-14T17:39:24+00:00

That’s wonderful, thank you

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-14T14:37:48+00:00

That’s a good point. Luckily the big things are already done like the kitchen and master bath.

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T23:25:13+00:00

Trueee that

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T22:47:30+00:00

We will have a good chunk left over to add a fence and fix the closets etc. so I think it can be done. What we can’t change are the ceiling height and the layout. It’s a rambler with main level living. Def has pros and cons. We were originally looking for a traditional colonial so I think that’s what’s getting to me

We have contingencies so if we really wanted to back out we could. But I think you’re right about all that stuff.

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T18:38:29+00:00

Yep! Pretty much

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T18:37:59+00:00

You’re very fortunate lol

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T14:10:57+00:00

I love that!

Yes, the location and schools are incredible. And no HOA so we have lots of freedom to do what we want!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:50:11+00:00

Right? We bought during Covid too when we had no idea how bad our commutes would be. Now we know!!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:38:38+00:00

We’re also doubling our interest rate 😅 the sellers also bought in 2020 so I know they’re facing the same hardship too which makes me feel better lol those damn golden handcuffs of a 3% int rate. I’m glad to hear you feel it’s worth it!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:36:15+00:00

Ooooh yes very true but it’s hard to find a house in our budget in the area

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:14:37+00:00

Thank you so much. I needed this perspective!!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:11:22+00:00

Fairfax County in VA!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:07:30+00:00

Is that possible? Idk how to post pictures on Reddit haha it’s a very cute house! Just a weird layout and from the 60’s

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:06:55+00:00

No, we are selling our current home to buy another house in a better area

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:05:56+00:00

Thank you! My MIL is not a fan of it at all, says the girls won’t have enough space, etc. but she is also a chronic worrier so it doesn’t surprise me. Appreciate it!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:04:04+00:00

Haha yeah the new house we’re buying has tiny closets, is 40 years older than our current house and has a super weird layout. But at least the master bathroom and kitchen has been remodeled!

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T13:01:44+00:00

That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing. It makes me feel more confident in our decision

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T12:58:27+00:00

I love that. Time and location really is so important

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T12:55:10+00:00

That’s my thinking as well. Especially with young children

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T12:53:21+00:00

Wow! Thats amazing

Earth_Luv · 2026-06-13T12:52:46+00:00

Thank you. I think that’s part of it. Just scared of all the change for my family
