We bought a house! (actually, a condo)



We are now the proud owners of the bottom floor from this remodeled Victorian mansion. The developers ripped everything out and made each floor a separate condo. 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1259 square feet, and cost waaaaaay too much money.

We are now in a new neighborhood called NOPA (north panhandle). I don't think that is an official name, but it makes it sound better than old Western Addition. We are sad to leave Noe, but excited to be in a new place close to lots of friends.

This was not an easy process. As many of you know, we have been looking for a new place for almost 8 months. We must have seen over a hundred places during the time (a lot of San Francisco inventory is crap). Then, after we finally find a place, the mortgage market collapses with the fall of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fortunately, it all worked out.

We are incredibly excited...and now officially are rooting for a housing recovery. We hope to have all of you over soon!
