So how far is your new house from your old one? I've never owned a home- my girlfriend and I plan on buying in the next 18 months or so. So I don't know the nostalgia that comes with that first house.

Moving is always a pain in the ass, but it sounds like ultimately you're in a better situation. Great peace of mind not having a mortgage either. Nothing beats 100% equity, especially in today's market. I'm glad you guys found a contractor to save you from that nightmare guy who butchered your flooring. What are the folks like who are buying your old house?

Anyway, congrats. I'm sure you're bummed a bit now, but once you're settled in you'll be good to go.

Salut!
