So my wife and I are closing on our Clinton Hill townhouse this week. It seems as if I will be the great Brownstoner guinea pig for the faltering economy and home ownership. No matter what you might have thought about anything I have written here over the past few months I hope you can all wish me well as I embark on this adventure. I agonized over this decision and in the end chose to move forward with a purchase despite the gathering clouds. I am hopeful that since we have no plans of going anywhere for a long time that we can ride out whatever comes next. I am very excited about owning a house and all of the various projects that come with it. Can’t wait to fix up the yard for instance. But I am nervous as well so again I hope that you guys can wish me well in this endeavor as many of us are in the same boat. Thoughts?
