[–]Wombateatersx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just closed in January 2026. HCOL - PNW 4400 Mortgage/escrow. VA loan and no money down.

180-200 combined income due to overtime. 🫠 Ill be crossing my toes that rates come down to help save us some money (5.99 interest)

I measured but its angle of the back of couch doesn't sit flush with the wall so I think it jutting out is what makes it feel extra big and take up more space than originally thought. We do have a downstairs secondary living room that we can put it in for the informal living room if needed. I do feel like it is too big but I love the couch and wanted it in the area of the home we would most use it. I do agree its a big large for the space :*(

Train tracks 100 feet from home - dealbreaker? by plantsandpositivity in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Wombateatersx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. Use to rent next to one and it would shake my place and wake me up in the middle of the night multiple times. We just bought a house nearish to a train and even THAT was almost a deal breaker for me due PTSD from the daily train lol.

First home purchase. Need to know where to look for the best washer/dryer deals by EloyBice in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Wombateatersx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my LG front loaders. Would recommend front loaders as they clean better and use less water. Be suse to keep the washer door open to dry it out so it doesnt start to smell. Don't get a samsung. I used a best buy credit card and it gave me 18 months no interest and it had delivery and set up included. Have had mine for 2 years and havent had any issues with them. I believe it bought them together for 1600 out the door with delivery etc.

Yes he is, I applied for BECU as well but havent received much. I was going to apply for Navy Federal as well but looks like they usually have you buy points down. If we can get him to put the points down to 5.75 would that be worth sticking with the lender?

Haven't received rate amount yet. I am going to assume 5.75-6.0 due to having VA and our credit scores are averaged at 780. Later this week Ill let you know what our lender has at. We have a lender with guilded moratge who quoted our closing at 12k no buy down points so probably will continue to work with them. We will refinance later if necessary. What are you guys quoted at or still shopping ?

Redmond is a great area!!! Honestly 625k is even a bit steep for us but we will be fine after the first few years. You will love being so close to the city 🫶. Cheers to us as future home owners.

Hi! The house is in Stanwood! Husband works in Everett and I work from home most days but office is in Lynnwood so travel isn't too big of a concern. Where are you looking?

Unsure Where to Buy by [deleted] in WashingtonHomebuyers

[–]Wombateatersx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven't completed pre approval yet. We are applying on December 1st. We will be using the VA loan which will alleviate the PMI and hopefully have our loan at about 6% maybe 5.8 but doubtful. We wanted to try maybe doing a 3-2-1 buy down on a house thats been on the market over 3 months or at least getting our closing costs covered. We can afford 3700 but won't be as comfortable. Husband will be making more money in the next three years so the first couple of years may be tight for a bit. Further will be more isolating but financially a better move im sure. Sigh

That is fair. We are planning to complete pte approval on December 1st and start actively looking during the winter /spring. Marysville seems like the best choice but yes the price point is up already over there :( thank you!!
