I thought this weekend was going to be an utter waste. But things turned out quite well actually. I bought a condo that I liked, we should close and have escrow done in two weeks. And the current occupants have decided to rent the place until I decide what's the best long term strategy on it.
Finding a place that I liked and wanted to live in (eventually) was a tough job. The decision to buy is like giving birth. You take a pretty huge burden upon yourself and hope that you dont screw things up. It took a little bit of horse-trading, some back and forth, but I managed to get it it several Gs below list price.
A female friend of mine, soon to be married, lives right next door. As soon as the seller accepted the offer, I sent her an SMS "Say Hello To Your New Neighbour!" She replied back, "Wow, I cant believe that you bought the condo next door. My major purchase this weekend was a Wii."
I hope I made smart use of my money, just as she did with hers.
