For me, buying the $282k house is a no-brainer. As is knowing that I don't need to furnish a new house. You need a bed. Your daughter needs a bed. Buy a sofa. The rest can come later or be bought second hand and updated with paint. New homeowners often make the mistake thinking a house needs to be fully furnished with brand new furniture and decorated with new rugs and accessories. I'd also caution that new builds often mean that the new homeowner needs to buy and install window coverings.

The house actually has blinds on every window already. I'd probably buy some curtains too for our two respective bedrooms, but yeah that's the plan. 2 beds, a fridge, washer, dryer, and a sofa. Anything else can come over time.

You can get so much gently owned and inexpensive furniture on OfferUp, FB Marketplace, Nextdoor, etc.
