And after you get the new house you’ll ofcourse be craving the nice new furniture, wood blinds, rugs, etc, etc. Also don’t forget the maintenance if something breaks or needs updating. Those costs can creep up into your housing costs too.

Thanks for sharing. This is a great piece that is so eye opening. There are alot of banks and other businesses touting the little or no downpayment way to go.
I for one think you are doing the right thing. I am definitely heading your advice.

“I was looking at townhomes in my area recently. The one I fell in love with was 2,200 sq ft for $160K. It had a two-car garage and a master bedroom on the first floor. It had a living area on the second floor. Three bedrooms, three baths.”

If I could find that in my area (Chicago burbs) I’d buy it right now sight unseen.

“Having just bought our first house last month, I would like to add this advice, the down payment and closing cost are where it just begins…”

Good point Brian. 20% for DP, 3% for closing costs. Figure you need to furnish it (depends for each situation) and then you still need to have 6 months worth if living expenses put aside. Add that up and to buy a $200,000 house you would need $60,000 or more in savings before you buy.

Sure you can afford it, like millions of others who bought homes in last 3-4 years on option interest only neg am ARMs with 105% financing

Do you know when the current owners bought that condo and how much they paid for it? That’s the first thing I look at.

Also did you see this story in Chicago Tribune about slow real estate market in Chicago?

Thank god you had the sense to do the math and to realize that it is not a smart move to pay 2X on a mortgage what it costs you to rent.

OMG are you going to be feeling proud after saving for another year and going out to buy "discounted" RE.

Bet on it. RE's already coming down, not only MOM, but also YOY.

This is the biggest credit bubble the world's ever seen and when the party's over you'll get MUCH more for your money (and have a larger downpayment to boot!).

Kudos to you for having financial sense.

Where in CT can you get 4 beds for $185k?

Here (Albany NY) it is feasible. I pay $600 in rent.

Average US house price is about $215k

I was floored by the price as well. My wife and I are looking at houses in Southern CA for $250k-$350k but you have to live out in the boonies. Is that how you spell boonies? Anyway purchasing a home in S. CA requires a lot of money or the willingness to live 30 to 40 miles from LA.

I wish we had started reading this colum before we brought this house. We just spent 185,000 for a four bed, two and a half bath in CT. It is a great price but we didnt save anything and we didnt try to pay down our debt first.

Trust me you are doing the right thing. Stay strong it will all pay off in the end
