College town = apartment, lol. I'm so ready to be back in an actual house!
I bought a house during residency. Mr. DG moved in nearly 2 years ago now... We are currently working on renovating the basement so the house doesn't fall down. It turns 100 years old in a couple of months!
@amanda.lynn - i hear you! my 4 years in college were: dorm, dorm, dorm, apartment!
@ Mrs. DG: That's so exciting. I've always wanted an older house.
We can't wait to move into our house. We think we're about a month away!!
NYC = apartment! Although we have a two bedroom, which is a decent size by NYC standards, so I'm not complaining. My FI can't wait to have a house and a yard though.
We wanted to buy a house, but our real estate agent was HORRIBLE so we ran out of time and are now leasing a condo... Oh what I would give for my own house!!
After living in 4 different rented apartments in addition to college dorms... I'm happy to say I finally own a house along with FI. :) While I never minded renting, it's just nice to not have to answer to a landlord!
I live in a condo! I hate it... only because our strata members are retired couples with nothing better to do than breathe down our necks. Everyone is spying on each other so they can rat the next person out.
They send out these letters like "A certain unit (they never give suite numbers) in the complex was spotted moving a couch into their unit on Monday, September 10th at 2pm. Please note moving furniture in & out of the building is only permitted the last Saturday of the month" They get sent out a few times a week- think of all the poor trees! We're supposed to be a green community.
Plus its a lot more expensive than I thought it would be. Between the strata fees & the new things they keep adding: I can't wait to sell this place. They want to install a camera system (so they can spy more) and its costing each unit $500. It's a new building (less than 2 years old) and they're always making new changes & costly upgrades. I feel like a tennant instead of an owner.
lol I went to the last strata meeting & people were getting their tar and pitchforks ready.
*vent over* phewf!
Joey- I think it's so exciting that you got to build exactly what you want! I can't wait until you move in. Maybe I'll get to check it out someday :)
We're in a rental house right now but I'm hoping sometime next year we'll become proud home owners!
My parents helped us to buy a home. We weren't ready, but the market was so good that we didn't want to miss a good opportunity. So we bought a house together and are (slowly) buying them out.
It's a 1920's colonial in bad shape and we are slowly renovating (restoring!) it to perfection.
I feel extremely blessed and thankful.
We're renting my grandmother's condo because she's living with my parents now. I totally sympathize with you, RecessionistaBride. All our neighbors are retirees, too. There are TONS of rules about where we should put our trash cans on trash day, when we can fly what kinds of flags outside, how we can only have our cars parked in the driveway for an hour or less. BLECH. We love the place, though, and it's WAY better than what we could afford if we were renting from someone else.
Just moved into our first house... very exciting, but ants and clogged garbage disposal aren't. Now I just call FI like he's my landlord. "Honey, can you come fix the house?"
So jealous of all of you homeowners. Living in the Bay Area (expensive!!) with a fiance who is currently unemployed means no new house in our near future. We are renting a pretty sweet townhouse right now though. Sigh.
We bought a house in February. I never want to move again.
I voted other! I live in a townhome..I do own it, so I didn't know if that was considered house! But anyhow thats my answer!
Renting a house for now. We own a house back in CO but since we had to move at the worst time, we kept it as a rental in order to get a decent price later!
We currently live in a 2 bdrm 2 bath apartment. I cannot wait to get a house! We have to decide where we want to live first though, but we know it's not here!
We rent half a duplex that I live in while my fiance is with his parents. I was already living with roommates, so it made more sense for me to move in than him. He calls it our mono-plex.
apartment....and will be until a bit after I finish school...
I will never buy/live somewhere people can tell me where to park, what color to paint my house, how often to cut the grass,ect. I feel so bad for you ladies!
Currently I'm back home with my parents to save money before I get married. I hope to be in a duplex once we move in together.
We bought our first house in June after a 3 month long process because it was a short sale. We did a little updating and moved in sometime in August. We love it! Now, we need some furniture because this whole place is pretty much empty!
House- Dad bought it for me while I was in college, and we're buying it from him this year, then selling it in the next 6 years and moving back to my rural hometown (like 20 minutes away from our current residence) and building a stone cottage in the middle of the woods :)
Apartment for now! I love it, but at the same time can't wait to have a house of my own someday and not have to worry that the old fart down the hall is mad that we close our door too loudly when we come home at night!
House. But we rent and our monthly rent is probably more than most pay for their mortgage everywhere BUT the Bay Area!
House. We bought it for 30K under asking price b/c the lady wanted the hell out! So we got an amazing house for a very good price. but it needs to be aesthetically brought out of the 70's and we'll just leave it at that....
Condo in the city that I LOVE. Plan is to buy a house in the 'burbs once we are pregnant. Excited about the space but that would give us but am worried I will miss the city.
weeellll... Right now I am back at home for the last couple of months, and then I will be living with the man once we get married in an apartment.
I like being home right now because I will be moving 3000 miles away, and this way I get to spend time with my family and 4 of my 5 younger siblings (there is also an older sister, who lives in the same town the FI got a job in!!).
We (I) bought a condo about 2 years ago. At the time, I had no intentions of Mr. Sushi moving in with me...so I house hunted for a young, single girl. Now I totally have house envy and can't wait to move into a "real" house. We'll probably be stuck in our condo for another 2-3 years yet, while we save for a down payment on our next (much bigger!) house.
We're renting a house until FI finds out where his job will move us. We really want to buy but are stuck, since he could be sent anywhere in the US - but we haven't been given a time line. It's easier for us to rent from a person and break that lease than from an apt complex, plus I detest sharing walls. I hate noise. :P
An apartment in Venice, Italy that threatens to collapse constantly. It's pretty charming though!
FI bought this house before I met him. It's about 120 years old, needs a lot of work, and it's definately not what i imagined. But nonetheless, it's home.
