Actually I bought the house in Knightdale. Took me 15 mins to get to the "city". Ill talk about that in a min. ;)
I went to Raleigh for the past 4 days just to scout out the area, get a feel and all that.
This is my 2nd time to Raleigh but my 1st time being able to look around. I love it. Everything was so nice and new. I covered Cary to Knightdale. I didnt see anything I didnt like except... the speed limit! Jesus you guys drive fast! :)
Everywhere was either 45 or 65. Im doing the limit (which was too fast) and people were passin' me at 60.http://www.kerrazy-torrents.net/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif
So I looked at used houses up to about 200k. I saw alot I liked. At the end of the day though We went to look at 1 new home community. I found a 2200sf for 160k! In D.C. and Baltimore that UNHEARD of.
That was Friday. Saturday tha plan was to look at the house again and put down a contract. We drove around abit and found another community in the same area. We figured, "Why not. Lets give it a look." Wow. Better houses same prices. So sick. I never thought Ide try to buy a new house. I didnt want to move 'till August because I still have to sell my townhouse here. New homes are great because you gotta wait for them to get built, so I have time. :)
I found out today I got the contract so everything is a go. I just have to sell mine but that wont be a problem.
So looks like Im gettin a 2400sf single-family for 180k (thats with our options). This house in D.C. or Baltimore would be 400-500k. Ridiculous.
So cool I cant wait. I plan on gettin involved in local tech issues so Ill need all the Linux heads to support me If I get something going. ;)
Anyway, Im just excited. Had to tell someone. So if you in Raleigh you gettin another linux nut. :)
