I'm in contract to buy my first house_comma_ fingers crossed closing goes well and I close next Friday! That is so exciting!! buying a house can be such a great experience. I'm definitely excited. The house just now got built and I saw it for the first time last Monday.  Oh so it is brand new.  I bet you cant wait to move in.
