    Congratulations, glad it went off pretty easily despite of how the market is with you guys. And for the future, I'll watch practically any content you put out and looking forward to seeing Mr Morton make his appearances, because he has the kind of energy that makes me smile.

    Congratulations Arna! My husband and I bought our first house a year ago and it was a similarly stressful process. You’re going to love having your own home. It’s so fulfilling to learn woodworking, electrical, and plumbing as I’ve fixed our place up and I know you’re going to love mastering those new skills too! I’m sending all my love to you and your family! Looking forward to meeting your dog! 🖤🦇🖤

    Oh my goodness, I already knew the outcome because I waited to watch the trilogy and yet I still cried along with you. At the end of the second one and the beginning of this one, I wasn't expecting you to put such a vulnerable moment out there and..... tears!
    I'm thrilled for both of you and you did a superb job with the editing!!

    Congratulations! I so completely feel these home buying vlogs! We also literally just went through this process. Technically, we still are, as we don't close on our new home until October 20th. We're in the US but it definitely seems so many home markets are going crazy right now. We had a multi-bid & max-out situation too. We are so in love with our home. We have a clause where we'll go a few grand over what the house appraises for. Here's hoping it comes back cheaper than what we're under contract at. We lost the first home we had set our hearts on because we didn't know how to phrase our escalation clause. We had no room to negotiate & ended up second best. We're so glad to have not gone through that gutting again.

    • @ArnaAlayneMorton
      @ArnaAlayneMorton  3 роки тому +1

  • @lisaebaker
    @lisaebaker 3 роки тому

    Hey Alarna. Hearty congrats to you both! I'm a born and bred Aucklander who despairs of my 3 older teen sons ever getting on the property market here so I'm already resigned to the fact that they will have to leave the city if not the country if they want to own their own homes. But my brother, another long time JAFA, has recently moved to CHC as his partner is from there. They own a home up in the hills which looks pretty amazing so I'm quite excited to visit him and spend a bit of time in CHC. I've only been there once about 20 years ago but from what I've seen it looks like it is becoming an increasingly cosmopilitan city. Look forward to watching your future content, both your renovating and hopefully your travels around the city and further afield (loved your recent travel vlogs!). And no doubt some puppy training thrown in soon! Congrats again - exciting times ahead!!

    • @ArnaAlayneMorton
      @ArnaAlayneMorton  3 роки тому +1

      Yes Auckland is just soooooo tough for first home buyers right now! Christchurch is definitely on the way up, finally getting back on it’s feet post-earthquake
