I regret buying my house
I (27F) feel bad even saying this, but I regret buying my house.
I was so excited to find a house that was older (most of the houses in the city are older) that had a lot of character and I found it. The moment I saw it online I knew I had to see it. And I saw it the same day and put an offer in. The inspection went good- only a few things I needed to address and I closed 2 weeks later. It was a super fast turn around so honestly in the moment I was just making sure I was able to be ready for the move and the purchase.
I moved and it has seemed like I’ve found something wrong with this house every single day. I am single, so it just feels like I’m drowning in this never ending list of things I’ll need to pay for.
I didn’t think I would care about having a small kitchen but I think about it all the time now. I’m so paranoid about finding water leaks. I painted one of the rooms to give me a fun project but then went to wash out my supplies and my hose spigot is broken. I need to fix some pieces of siding on the house. I need to redo the shower (this was really the only big thing I was prepared to do)
I just feel like this home is more of a stress than it is exciting and all I can think about is how much needs to be done.
Does it get better? If anyone has any advice I’d love to hear it.
