But what we didn't know was how quickly this house would need even more repairs, and how costly they would be. Here are three things I wish I'd considered before signing on the dotted line for myWhen we bought our charming colonial, I was pregnant with our first child and it was just my husband and me, plus our small French bulldog.
Our home was vacant except for the former owners' college-aged son, who stayed there temporarily before it sold. That means it was far from clean. Also, the past owners are the ones responsible for fixing small issues before they become big issues. Case in point: The home's master bathroom was original to the house and the toilet had been leaking into the floor and down the front of the house for nearly 20 years. The previous owners either didn't know about it or hadn't fixed it.
But both issues checked out in the inspection, so we negotiated a lower purchase price and didn't think much of it. That was until six months into our very first year of new homeownership when we had to replace the air conditioning unit. Several professionals told us it wouldn't last through our first summer in the house, and that wasn't an option with a 2-month-old baby.
Meaningless design for dumb guys. Who’s going to buy that old cube?
Full of charm. And asbestos.
