Thanks for taking us along your house hunting journey. You’re just SOOO young to be buying your second home. I admire and applause you so much for such a huge endeavor.❤🎉 every house has its little charm.😊

[@SelenaTrevino]

Congratulations on your new house!🎉 I’m glad you were able to find your dream home even though you lost the first one, things work out in the best way. I love that we’re buying houses around the same time, love that for us!!🤪 excited to see how you guys decorate your new home!

[@nanaespacini]

i have been saving up your last few videos as a treat after a long week of work and i'm finally catching up and i legitimately teared up at the end!!! congratulations on finding your dream home!!! and is it crazy to say that once you showed that "secret door" attic i thought "okay, this is SOOOO carter"? lololol sooo happy for you two!

[@jordanlouie6603]

Wow- this was a freaking journey for you! Thank you for sharing it all and so happy you and Matt found your dream home.

[@AmeliaCarole-lq9fm]

Never would have thought I could be so invested in an hour long video about buying a house when I’ve never bought a house before and you are in a country I’ve never even been to before! I totally see how cutie cottage seemed like the perfect house for y’all but wow the new house is too perfect! So happy for how it worked out for y’all.

[@CarterSullivan]

This comment made my day!!

[@Milkshak3Band]

Congratulations and good luck in this new chapter of your life 😊🍀

[@alondraxx33]

Watching this video now, I love love your natural hair!

[@ruthjarrett793]

1) your natural hair is beautiful you should free the waves and embrace it cause it’s stunning by but you do you! 2) I am so happy for you!

[@CarterSullivan]

Haha honestly its alot more work leaving it natural because I have to diffuse it and put product in it so I don't do it often because its a time consuming process to get it looking like that honestly😂

[@crawfordjennifer2015]

Carter I’m so so happy for you! Your new home is beautiful! Congratulations 🎉! Have a blessed rest of your week! 🍂🍁☺️

[@vivcas808]

Everything TRULY happens for a reason even when we don’t know it 😊 so excited for you guys!!

[@CarterSullivan]

Its so true! ✨

[@carla.h.skinner]

I like the laminate you showed in the sneak peak at the end! It’s nice it’s not too grey/cool or too warm - so hard to find that balance.

[@Brocka75]

This video was all the feels 😊😮😢🥹😳😤🥳🥳🥳❤️🤗

[@hollycvlogs]

Portable mortgages are not really a thing here in the US, but we also get to lock our interest rate in for the entire term of the mortgage. That means people who have the 3% interest rates will not be moving anytime soon. It also means we wont be buying since there are no houses on the market.

[@CarterSullivan]

Yep, there's definitely pros and cons to having a mortgage in Canada versus the US!

[@karissawidder]

Last point!!!!

[@Cat8395]

It’s so funny the differences between the commonwealth - in England you can do neither of those things (can’t “port”, it would be unusual to be able to fix (lock) your rate for more than 5 years, thought it is technically possible to do up to 10). I assume it’s because the UK has an incredible issue of overpopulation and lack of housing, so they don’t want anyone to get too comfortable (nor do seemingly the banks want us to be able to lock for too long…).

[@vivcas808]

I love your needs and wants for your home because it makes it feel more realistic and relatable in a way. ☺️

[@anagavric6012]

This video really transported me, I felt immersed in the whole experience. Well done!! You were both persistent and it's really admirable. It was worth it at the end! ✨👏

[@isabelbeck7]

You & Selena both buying the cutest little houses and moving at the same time makes me so happy

[@CarterSullivan]

Haha yes! It's been so cool to watch her moving vlogs and see the differences since she's obviously in a new build home and we are in 100 year old home!!

[@SelenaTrevino]

@@CarterSullivanactually I went back on the new build and I bought a house built in the 80s 🤪

[@CarterSullivan]

@@SelenaTrevino oh my God you did?? Your house literally looks like it's brand new!! They must've done some really great renovations wow

[@SelenaTrevino]

@@CarterSullivan yeah, I explained in the vlog but there was a small fire caused by a previous tenant and they renovated the whole house bc of the smoke.

[@emkwats]

Congratulations Carter & Matt !! What a freaking journey but soooo happy for you guys !! Your house is stunning & i'm so excited to see you guys decorate and make it your own home !! 💛

[@laurarahelbailey]

So happy for you guys getting your dream!! 🎉💛☺️ Even though the dream changed along the way, seems like you ended up with something you loved even more than the first dream house!

[@CarterSullivan]

EXACTLY!

[@andicasmokes420]

Just started watching but wanted to say hi! Your natural hair is so gorgeous girl! ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

Omg thank you! The more I leave it natural the curlier it gets and I like it more!!

[@amandadowney953]

Congratulations to you and Matt on your dream home!!! So happy for you two!!! ✨️🤎

[@kellym893]

Congratulations Carter & Matt & Stella!!!

[@SarahSchneider2]

I also agree that’s it’s a good idea to sleep on the big decisions like buying a home. Congrats again on the dream home. I’m still in an apt but hope to be able to do a house in the next 5 years since paying rent doesn’t pay into a mortgage/give you home equity.

[@Lucy.Fowler]

Best notification to get today!! I cant wait to watch this - just seeing your progress and watching your videos/success makes me feel so positive and motivated, and reminds me to just keep going 👏

[@CarterSullivan]

I appreciate you so much 🥹🫶🏻

[@harperrae576]

Congratulations!!

[@keelywest6389]

So so happy and excited for you!! I love your optimism during the entire process. My husband and I are also house hunting and It was so refreshing to see your journey it gives me hope for us lol also please have lots of babies, you’re going to be an incredible mom♥️

[@CarterSullivan]

Let it be known there was LOTS of tears and panic attacks throughout this. Ironically it just made the vlog really negative so I cut most of them out BUT it was not all sunshine and rainbows I promise! I mean we plan on having lots of fur babies 🤭 Still undecided on kids but if we do we just plan on having one and hopefully adopting one day! 🥰

[@SusieQZee]

This is not entirely true. In the US, there is the possibility to assume a mortgage. It’s called an assumable mortgage. The seller has to agree, but is definitely worth finding a formidable team to help with this! :)

[@brittdoe4764]

We are also moving today!!! Enjoying the moving vlogs. Love feeling like I’m not alone in this super stressful state😅

[@CarterSullivan]

You got this🥰🥰

[@klintazeiferte]

So excited for you! 🫶🏻

[@mansoor3159]

It's always a good day when Carter posts 🥰💫♥️ and congratulations dear on your dream house🎊🎊

[@stacykhernandez]

So happy for you guys 🥰🥰 so excited to see you guys grow as a family and within yourselves ❤️

[@eviesavitzky8316]

I'm so excited for you. Such a great feeling really. Spent time with my brother in IL who lives in the country and just cozy feeling. Congrats!

[@CarterSullivan]

Yes it is! 🥰

[@amandeez5782]

Congratulations!!! It’s so exciting!!🎉🎉

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!!

[@Chels0720]

I’ve been following this journey so intensely and I’m so excited for y’all!!!

[@lizdee1085]

Ahh congrats on the dream home. So happy for you guys

[@heyitsthebrowns]

Congrats on the new house! Your green striped sweater in the intro is EVERYTHINGGGG please tell me you got a link for us!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@CarterSullivan]

I think its from Hollister!

[@ncstar10]

Where is your desk chair from?

[@CarterSullivan]

Costco so I can't link sadly!

[@leahlong5573]

I LOVE your natural hair

[@laceybeanreads]

So excited for you & Matt!

[@kinipela7786]

Congrats! Happy for you two!

[@mariebvlogs]

Congratulations on your dream home to you both! I am in the middle of house hunting in Ottawa as well, and thank you for being so transparent with numbers and your experience. This is so helpful and motivating- we have almost given up many times. Also that home looks STUNNING! We totally have the same definition of a dream home! 🏠 :)

[@Authentically.Ashley1]

I'm so excited for you and Matt!

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!! I can't wait to share it all with you guys🥰🥰

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Carter happy Thursday morning and I loved your weekly day vlogs because I enjoy your channel because you are amazing Supporter

[@heyhannahskye]

The entry way in your new house 🤩🤩 I know you can’t wait!!

[@alyssahough3141]

I am so beyond excited for you guys!

[@eerinoneil]

Amazing!!! Congrats on your dream home 🤗🎉

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!! 😊

[@juliep.4483]

Fantastic you two! Way to stick it out and have faith! congrats :)

[@VeronicaCostaF]

I'm so happy for you. Congrats :*

[@sh5999]

Congrats guys! 🍾🥂

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@fitdoctor25]

Congratulations again!

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!!!

[@BookishBeatrice]

Your natural hair 😍

[@melevonne]

In Canada you have to renew your mortgage agreement?

[@CarterSullivan]

Yep! Not sure if it's different for other provinces but for us with our bank, we were only on a fixed 5 year agreement. I know in the US you're usually locked in for your whole mortgage length unless you renegotiate which has its pros/cons!

[@heyyitssj]

Omg I would love a video about the condition for buying a house while selling your other house because that is the boat I’m in!

[@CarterSullivan]

I honestly don't have a ton to say on it but feel free to DM me if you have any specific Q's! I didn't go into detail online since I'm sure there's different real estate laws in each province/state/country! But basically when we offered on our home we offered with the condition that we had __ amount of time to sell our home!

[@marissainher40s68]

Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾 ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!!

[@Billy33753]

Love the layout

[@rachelmackenzie4592]

it's beautiful, so happy for you! can't wait to see a tour.

[@CarterSullivan]

Empty house tour coming Friday🤭

[@elizabethseeley4539]

The people in #5 loved chairs as wall art ahahaha

[@joannejpeg]

Hey, not sure what you discussed with your agent about these clips but I'm pretty sure he can get in a lot of trouble if these clips are online. Maybe check with him if you haven't cleared it already. I'm glad you found the right house! ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

Thanks for the concern! I've gone over and edited this video approx. 10 times before posting to make sure nothing confidential or private was shared. So I'm not too sure what clips he could get in trouble for? Feel free to DM me and let me know if I wasn't aware of something. I think it goes without saying that I'm just just discussing buying and selling a home from an average person's perspective. People share house hunting videos all the time online and we shared this same journey a few years back with no issues! And he is aware that we vlogged the whole thing ☺️

[@daniellecampbell2497]

Your curly wild hair looks so cute!

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you! Slowly but surely trying to embrace it🥹

[@sarasfaves0]

ok i am SO excitedddddd

[@CarterSullivan]

🤭🤭🤭

[@magicallykatelyn]

SOOO EXCITED!!!!

[@CarterSullivan]

YOU AND I BOTH

[@JulieSwisher]

OBSESSED!!!!! So excited for you guys and for all the cozy house content coming our way ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you!!!! 🥰❤️

[@hannahblume2000]

Anyone gonna question why that one house had so many chairs on the wall?

[@CarterSullivan]

HAHAHA we had no idea but we lowkey thought it was cute and eclectic

[@actgirl1234567]

❤❤❤

[@juliewilliams4068]

❤️❤️🎃🕸️💀👻🏡🏡

[@oneofeverything9820]

Did you get help from your parents when you bought your first home? Putting down a down payment of $100k is insane.

[@CarterSullivan]

This isn't our first home! We had enough equity/profit from selling our first home to put 20% down on this home + pay closing costs so we decided to in order to make our mortgage as low as possible 😊 In terms of down payment from our first home, our situation was unique as it wasn't split 50/50 between Matt and I since he had more saved at the time than I did. So for his sake (since I share my finances online but Matt doesn't), I don't share the specifics of our down payment/closing costs on our first home since it wasn't an easy 50/50 split like all our other major purchases have been! Hope that makes sense!
