Say hello to a new property owner
I just got word the offer I put in on a co-op has been accepted. I don't think the word "giddy" has ever been used to describe me till today. (May have something to do with my dancing down the hallway just now)

Hello! Enjoy the feeling!
Don't worry about that obligatory feeling of buyer's remorse. Everyone gets it. :-)
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Scott.

No remorse at all
I've been looking for about 8 months and this one is the best I've seen. Just about perfect a perfect fit to what I was looking for. 2 blocks from work, fantastically maintained, 1 block from a nice little park, 2 bedrooms, fireplace, sunroom etc. I actually have goosebumps.

My realtor even said "this was meant to happen"
This place is actually more than I was willing to accept. Location was the primary requirement. If I'm going to ride a bike (one of my "get yourself fit" goals), it won't include a daily roundtrip over a busy, narrow highway overpass. I was ready to take a efficiency (bed sitting room* for you Brits) unit just for the location. The fact that it's only two blocks from where I work kind o kills the "I'm moving in order to make biking a possibllity" reason a wash. I don't care. The place is freakin' gorgeous.

I felt ~ the same way when -
That guy on the bitchin near-new Matchless 500 Twin rode up next to me (on my equally-bitchin, stylish Lambretta motor scooter) on Market St. SF, and called over ...
- Those musical words -
Ya Wanna Swap ???
As is also reminiscent of,
This guy with a small back deformity finally gets a date with a nice girl.
(Seems she has an .. er, artificial eye.. no big deal.)
Things go swimmingly; it's time to part.
She suggests, "wanna go out again sometime?"
.
.
He: Would I! Would I!
.

.
.
She: Hunchback! Hunchback!

You will sign your name approximately three hundred and fifty times in about two hours at closing. Welcome to the ranks of the landed gentry, and you renters here will henceforth address him as "Squire" Silverlock.

Too cool.
We have now been in our new house about half a year. That feeling is still there; I have no idea how long it takes for the novelty to wear off. I have noted that I now know enough of the new normal background noises to know when something is different.
I envy you the walk to work. I moved about 10 miles further away (28 to 38 roughly) largely because my wife's remaining relatives live fairly near to here.

I have to be "interviewed" before the deal can go through
I did a little reseach and it turns out that the historical reason for a co-op board inteviewing prospective tenants is to insure I'm not black or Jewish. I'm tempted to show up in low rise baggy jeans sporting a star of david necklace. Perhaps I should get a tattoo?

It could be they want to know if you have 8 KW audio...
system you like to crank up at 2:30 AM when you do your best work.
Or, that you need 8 renting roomies to handle the mortgage.
Or, that you habitually house the homeless.
Or, if you're gay like the rest of them. :)
