Well…I think I may have bought my house at the right time…while I was reading the news after I got back from running my errands this morning, I came across an article on housing prices that put a little smile on my face…since I bought my house, prices are up almost 5% so that means I’ve made almost 5 grand in equity in the past 4 months…and the predictions are that prices will rise almost 15% in the next year so that means my equity will be up almost 20 grand in  a year and I’ll have almost 60 grand in equity in this place and that is kind of cool…for me, but not for other people who are trying to buy a house in this weird market. I am still amazed how many things fell into place that allowed me to get this place, and even with the noise problem, which is 80% better by the way, I do like owning a house and being able to do what I want with it….and I have a yard that is coming in and a garden that has already given me enough beans to make a side dish and is showing lots of tomatoes that I should be harvesting by the end of July….and I got through a ride without a flat this morning and will be going out again after the match and the rain…things could be worse….
