This is our new home building journal with Ryan Homes......the good, the bad, and the ugly. We are not paid by Ryan Homes or receiving any type of incentive to do this. We just want to document for ourselves and share with others so that they know what to expect. This is our first and hopefully last home together! We hope you enjoy this as much as we've enjoyed and learned from others blogs about the home building process...which isn't as scary as we originally thought. :)

Locked and Loaded!
We locked in today at 3.625% !!!! We had the option to buy down all the way to 3.25%. We thought about going to 3.5% but it would have only saved us a little bit a month (A dinner out for one) and not as much as you would think in the long run so we decided to save our money now and get almost $600.00 back as an incentive for the 3.625% rate. :) It would take close to 15 years to "break even" for buying down to 3.25% and we'd rather have a dining room table and pay extra in the future to make up for it. We plan to make extra payments anyways so we can always make up for the decision on the higher rate. :) It looks like I might have a new refrigerator and still be able to afford window treatments! :)
