Here are some thoughts off the cuff..... Be prepared for both of you to sign about 40 documents or initial same. Everybody gets some of your wallet. A new home can be such joy and then can also be a money trap. Don't overspend, don't stock it immediately, save some $ to pay extra notes along the way, and don't get an adjustable mortgage rate. Take your time on any improvements once you are in. Just make a list and chip away a little at a time. Be kind to your neighbor's and be tolerant of them. Make real friends of them if you will be there a while.
Oh, get a home warranty if you can work that in your monthly expenses/budget.
