There is finally light at the end of the tunnel after all the back and forth about buying a retirement home! I wish I could move there now but it would be way too far for me to commute to work. One more reason to look forward to retirement... a bedroom downstairs with hardwood floors for a sewing room!
|
You got the house ?
CONGRATS !!!!!! How long til retirement ???? |
So Neat! Wish I could retire, and have a retirement home...sigh..someday maybe. But congrats to you.
|
Congratulations! How perfect for retirement.
|
Awesome, you have a beautiful home waiting for you. I think this is the best Christmas gift ever.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :P :P |
First thing to do..change ALL the locks, and have a security firm that you trust come in and advise you on what to do that won't cost an arm and a leg. Then have another one from further away if you know any and have him give you ideas. This was suggested to one of my family by another family member who was a cop.
But change ALL the locks between each renter, always. |
Yippee. Beautiful things should come out of this magical place. Pics, pics, pics. Congratulations.
|
Congratulations!
Can I get out of this snowy cold and rent it till you're ready? :) |
Congratulations on getting your home.
|
Congratulations, Pam. It looks like you found yourself a very nice retirement house.

Retirement is in 8 more years if I take it early at age 55. I work in the mortgage industry and at the same company for 17 years. They've had several rounds of layoffs and I decided to do this now... just in case. House prices are low and the payments are only $469 + taxes & insurance. I couldn't even rent a small apartment for that! Even in the less expensive area this house is in. Since it is considered an investment, my lender required an appraisal that included an income analysis. The rent is estimated to be $1100 per month.
I'm pretty sure that even if I had to retire right now, or lost my job, that I could afford this house on my current pension amount that I've accumulated. In 8 more years I'm certain of it. |
beautiful!!!! And good move for planning for retirement!!!
|
That looks like a great house! You could use it as a summer house for now until you retire!!
|
That's so cool! Since I worked for the U of I, I was able to retire with 30 years in at the ripe old age of 51. I retired the year my dd started first grade.
|
Congratulations!!!
|
MAN!!! Retiring when your DD was so young must have been wonderful!! I will have 25 years in at the age of 55.
|
Beautiful Home. Where in California were you able to find those prices? We've had to look in Texas to get those kind of prices. Congrats on a great deal.
|
Congrats!
|
Congratulations! :D:D:D
|
What a sweet house. Congratulations.
|
It's in Stockton near UOP. It was a great price at $115k. It wasn't usual to find a house in such good shape for the price but they kept lowering it. I was lucky to get it. My agent told me today, "You know how many people ask me about this house?" and another of her clients really wants it, says to contact him if my deal doesn't go through.
The neighborhood is very quaint and old fashioned, the houses look like little gingerbread houses and cottages, huge old trees overhanging the streets. |
Congratulations!
|
Sounds like a great place and you really got a grate deal. Congrats again
|
Congrats!
|
looks like a happy home - so smart to plan ahead & prepare for retirement years. I bet you were singing on the inside while you were signing on the outside!
|
Looks beautiful. You are smart to plan ahead. Lord only knows what the future will bring. Good luck!
|
Congratulations. This is a good time to buy houses, they are so low priced now it's almost unbelievable. Smart of you to look ahead, lots and lots of people don't and regret it.
I wish you were my neighbor. |
You'll be very close to me! I'm North of Stockton in Elk Grove;> We'll have to play together.
|
Merced isn't far from Stockton or Elk Grove! My close co-worker lives in Elk Grove but he works at our office near Sacramento. I work in the East Bay.
|
We'll be neighbors practically. Woohoo. I need a good quilting buddy.
|
