Look at it this way. For the cost of a year's taxes, you've made $150,000 immediately on the house. Pretty sweet. It gives you a nice chunk of additional equity if you ever need to tap into it.

Yes, you're right. And for that, I am very grateful. But, I would have made that money even if we has closed on the first week of January.

Nonetheless, I see your point, and it's well taken. I should quit bitching! :D :o

Juan, December/January isn't that far off. Once you're moved in and enjoying your new home, you won't be thinkin about this. Hang in there buddy :) .

A dream cone true right? Think back to Katrina and the Astrodome. From the looks of your new place you do have much to be thankful for. Count your blessings. Congrats on the new house.
