I'm pretty amped. We just put an offer on a house and it got accepted! It's our first place, 3 bedroom, wood floors, 3 sheds, 720 square meters (7750 square feet). It needs a bit of work but it's got heaps of potential, and it will be OURS! We've been renting, and I've been without a shed which kills me, so I'm stoked. Can't wait to move in!

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

7,750 sf is the lot, not the house, right?

Congrats on the house!  However, you calculation to feet is a bit off.  Still a very nice size IMO!

720m2 = 2376 ft2

Nope

720 m^2 x (3.28 ft)^2 = 7746 ft^2

Yeah the lot is 720 square meters. The house is pretty small but it's all we need. I know houses are money pits, but it's all adding value to my investment, unlike renting where you pay for somebody else's.

Update...

Finance was officially approved today. All we need now is for the house to not be falling down and not be eaten to bits by termites and it'll be ours!

EXCITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!

Weee! Congrats  Howley... you know this means you get to buy more tools - right?

I was gonna say 7750 sq ft is haayhuge. 5x bigger than my place which has plenty of space for 2. But, a lot that size make a lot more sense.
