We got our letter today with all of our closing information so now I need to get busy on that stuff. We are having our final walkthrough on March 3 and closing on March 7. Less than a month! I was hoping to have the closing be on a Friday so we could stay there (sans furniture) over the weekend.....just something about staying in the house the first night we're able to. Oh well, maybe we'll just stay there on the 7th anyway and I'll run to my other home to get ready in the morning :)
In other news...Levin Furniture was having a super sale this weekend so we made our first purchase!
I had been eyeing this set for about 2 months so I was really happy to get it for a good deal. It's hard to tell in the picture but it is a counter-height table and it is dark brown wood. We also got the bench. Plenty of seating for just the two of us! Here is a link to the website for a better look
We also checked out a bedroom set that we both really liked, but without being able to finance things until the mortgage is finalized we decided to wait on this one. (Plus what good is a king-sized set if you don't have a king-sized mattress yet? Priorities...)
Mattresses can be ridiculously expensive. After falling in love with some really expensive ones, we went to my brother's house to watch the superbowl. He and his girlfriend just bought a king mattress from Menards this week for about 1/3 of the cost of what we were looking at. Of course we checked it out as soon as we got there and decided we are definitely going to Menards! It was soooo comfy I could have stayed there all evening!
We are closing March 4 and we haven't gotten any info. about closing from the mortgage company yet. Guess I should email them?
ReplyDeleteBoo. I looked up Menards and we don't have one. There is now way I would get a mattress from Levin. Ridiculously expensive. You may also want to check out value city furniture. We found a bedroom set we love and its all wood.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the purchase.
Jen the letter we got today was from Ryan not NVR, but it told us who we need to contact for everything including title, HOA, utilities, etc as well as a timeline to do so. I received a phone call last week from the mortgage rep asking me to fax over a bunch of documents (bank statements, W2's, etc) within 10 days. I would say if you haven't heard anything like that you might want to call/email and figure it out or it's all gonna hit you at the same time and you'll be playing catch up!
ReplyDelete2011-I've checked out Value City online but haven't made it to the store yet. Definitely will. We also plan to check Wayside, i've heard some good things about them (not sure if there's one by you or not).
ReplyDeleteI love the table! Your closing is coming so quickly!
ReplyDeleteTable is gorgeous! Congrats on your first furniture purchase!
ReplyDeleteWe got a king size Novaform memory foam mattress from Costco for $699. My husband has back issues and really wanted to try memory foam and now I'm in love with it. Tempurpedic is too expensive, but if you're interested in a memory foam mattress I would recommend Novaform. Oh and I love that table! I really want a counter height table eventually too!
ReplyDeleteI hope your closing goes well with NVR. We have thought about using them, but I'm nervous after reading some horror stories. Please post how it goes and if everything about your loan is what you expected. Thanks!
