Moved into a new place after weeks of searching - 14 months and counting

We moved last weekend and I finally feel settled. I am in Sacramento, in case local advice matters. A local programme helped with the deposit. Thanks for all the tips.

Congratulations! That is a big weight off.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
