So I’ve finally decided to buy a house. Well, I’ve decided to borrow enough money from the credit union to buy a house, in any case. If you’re looking, I’ve found Windermere’s PropertyPoint application very appealing. I can use it from work, even, because it isn’t Java or Flash. I probably won’t be using them as a realtor, since I get some big discount if I use someone else, but as far as I’m aware the MLS means they list everything? *shrug*

Been waiting a couple weeks to hear back from the CU about my loan (when their website says it would take hours or days). It’s like they’re allergic to making calls themselves — every time I call they ask me if I’ve sent some other paperwork in, as if I knew to do that. Ah well. Everyone says buying a home is stressful — with all this waiting I can see how. I just want them to either say yes or no, soon, so I can figure out what I’m going to do. If “no”, I’ll probably just move in to some cheap apartment closer to town and save up for a while, switch credit unions, and try again in a few years. (I never thought I’d be planning years ahead of time).

Update: Just got approved. Time to shop!
