Awesome news. A lot of state governments love to hit you with a transfer tax when you buy or sell that can be up to a few percentage points of the property’s purchase value. No wonder most people have to work for 30+ years.
Hi Travis,
That is correct. It’s usually around 1% of the sale price. We’re avoiding this tax completely by renting. Thanks for dropping by.
Oh! This post resonates with me so much. I spent about 8 years commuting a total of 3 hrs a day which led to a lot of unhappiness, expenses and time wasted of my life- 8 months of it to be exact. So when we moved, I insisted that we live closer to my husband’s work, even if that meant paying more for a house. The time wasted on the road is precious!
Wow, it’s great that you were able to cut the commute time. Cheers to that!
Like you I had a nasty 1 hr commute each way. Granted, it was via train but boy does it make a difference to live 15 mins away from work. Now if only I could work to my company shuttle 🙂
It certainly does! I’m sure your ears appreciate not having to deal with the 80 decibel train noise every day.
