I just bought a house and I’m so unhappy
I need to vent and need some help getting out of this cycle.
My husband got transferred to a new city in the middle of nowhere in Pensilvania. We were very happy with the new move, since we are coming from the New York City and I was afraid of raising our daughter there. Im 8 months pregnant now.
So we ended up buying a house without seeing it, because he wanted to buy a house right away. When we arrived to see the house it was too late to remove our offer, and we ended up signing the contract today.
I hate the neighborhood, it’s really not what I was dreaming for my daughter to have as a first neighborhood memory. We are literally on a very busy intersection and there is so much traffic and noise.
Im panicking now, I can’t even sleep thinking about this house. I just hate it so much, I wish I didn’t close this deal, I wish we waited more, but no, my husband had to insist and send an offer before seeing the house.
Now we don’t have any furniture, we need to remove a disgusting carpet from the baby room, we don’t have any money left and my due date is in 4 weeks. I feel like I’m in a nightmare right now.
I didn’t want my baby to feel all this that I’m feeling. I also really hope I get use to this neighborhood. There was literally a crazy lady outside of the house today in drugs. This is the first impression I had after walking in, that I’m moving to a worse place then what I was before in New York.
Please no judgment maybe just some good points or advice or whatever… I felt like venting honestly.
I already want to sell the house, rent out whatever… I hope this don’t damage my marriage also.

Would you be able to stay with some friends or family until basic renovations can be done? Sight unseen is such a difficult way to purchase, did the agent misrepresent the property you feel?
unfortunately and on top of all this I don’t know anyone here. We are staying at an Airbnb until the end of the month. I think the agent was not clear enough about the neighborhood.. I’m gonna blame on her
I hope you can dump that place and run. What a crap situation, I'm so sorry, that must be incredibly frustrating.
I would just put it on the market and ..stay till it gets a bite.. sell and move to a better area .... I'm sorry
But my husband would have me staying at an AIRBNB till I sold and ...it's about YOU AND a newborn about to be born...!!! Cars and noise PLUS drugs omg !!!! Nope!!! I would demand to be in a safe healthy place for you to give birth..ONE BIG THING TO GIVE BIRTH ...UR BODY HAS TOO FEEL SAFE AND PROTECTED ...ur labor will stall till then .. been there
I really would talk to hubby..
And have him.reach out to a realtor to rent it out or put back on market!!!!
If u don’t mind me asking what town are you in? I lived in some sketchy parts of PA so yes I know what u mean. I’m so sorry ur going through this especially 4weeks before giving birth
Speaking from experience: houses come and go! Don t stress too much about it now. You, your baby and the childbirth are your top priorities now. You will be able to sell it and find the perfect house for you and your family. This one is just a temporary solution and you will be able to find a new place soon. This is what you have to focus on: Temporary!
This place will just be a thought you will laugh about in the near future. Keep calm and carry on🤞🥰
thank you !! I’m trying to think it this way and just keep positive
Lancaster… I guess I’m also very scared with all the move and super emotional with the pregnancy…
