This is my journey toward first-time home ownership. I decided to turn this dream into a goal, and share my journey.

A neighborhood to check out later
I was out in northwestern (I think) Raleigh this evening, running errands and such, and decided to turn down a street to explore a little bit. I saw several townhomes for sale and decided to get a couple of the fliers available. Although they seemed a bit cookie cutter, the prices seem affordable. One has the asking price of $164,9o0, the other $158,900. These are 3BR, 2BA, two-story townhomes. The flyer with the most info said it's 1386 sq. ft., and is the cheaper of the two. It's only slightly smaller than our current apartment. Monthly HOA dues are $115. Community area has a pool and tennis courts. Built in 2004, the zip is 27613.
Back to the library
I'm returning a couple of house-buying books to the public library this evening. They're due tomorrow, and I've already renewed them online once. I guess I'm not that far along on the home-buying journey. Well, other things have priority right now, is what it amounts to. I haven't given up on the dream, and I am working on saving for a down payment and getting my finances in order. I'm sure I'll be checking those books out again in the future.
