Emotions are so tricky. In order to qualify for the $6,500 home buying tax credit, I had to have a house under contract by the end of the day.
My realtor e-mailed me three more possibilities while I was at work. I drove by all three of them on my way home. One of them was worth a walk through.
Our realtor quickly scheduled a showing. The house looked great from the outside…a nice yard with beautiful trees, a brick front. However, when we opened the front door, smelled the cigarettes and saw the small, cloistered kitchen, I knew this wasn’t for us.
Bye, bye tax credit! It isn’t like we didn’t try! But, what is the sense of buying a house that you don’t really like just to get a tax credit!
I passed…We’ll just keep looking.
