[quote=Anonymous]I was excited about it and while the excitement has worn off, I still love the house and I'm very glad we bought it.

The house was built in 1940 so it is more of a money suck than your typical new build. We did a good number of renovations (and still have to tackle the kitchen) and we have struggled with basement flooding. But we anticipated the vast majority of these issues so my excitement about the house was in line with reality.

My husband was not excited about the house. He is afraid of commitment and the house was expensive. But it has appreciated a lot and has been great for our family. The space is so nice (especially since we bought just before the pandemic), he has a garden, and the kids have a tree swing. Even though he is frustrated with the flooding issue and kitchen drawers that are on their last leg, he is glad I sort of dragged him into home ownership.

I think if you are just very realistic about the costs of home ownership, both ones you know about and ones that are sure to arise, you're unlikely to have buyer's remorse. [/quote]
