I bought the house

This post was originally published on golifelog.com.

Last Thursday I finally signed the buying contract at a nearby notary. I got the bank approval just a week before, and now I have to wait until the notary approved contract is finished so I can sign the credit contract at the bank. If I get lucky, it should be done this week, though knowing how long it took for the bank to write the approval, it might take another week.

Interestingly, quite a few people already talked to me about my current Apartment. I thought it might take quite a while to get some offers, but actually, I’ve got three direct interests and when I called my estate agent, she said there were also around five more requests.

Besides that, I also got a quote to buy my car out of the leasing contract, which I’ll do with the house financing, to reduce my monthly bills.

Still, I’m felling a bit overwhelmed by the whole situation, to be honest. That’s also why I am writing about it now and not last Thursday. It took some time to order my thoughts, and I think it will take quite some time until I fully realise I’m a homeowner now.

I’ll do an in-depth explanation of the financing as soon as I get the contracts. I’m also already thinking about doing some YouTube videos for my channel, but for now, it’s waiting again.
