So, we just put a contract on a house—and guess what? The house number adds up to 13! I know, I know… that number can make some people nervous. In numerology, 13 is linked to karmic debt, which honestly gave me a little pause at first. But here’s the thing: the moment we walked in, it just felt like home. Like, really deeply, instantly home. It’s funny how some houses just click, and others don’t, no matter how pretty they look.
We’ve been through a lot trying to find our place. Our last contract fell apart right before closing, and it was so stressful. We had to start all over again with hardly any time. We’ve actually been looking on this one street for more than a year. One house we loved sold way too fast—it was beautiful but felt cold inside. Another one I liked, but my partner wasn’t feeling it. And there was this other place that was under budget, but it felt like it would just be a money pit. Nothing felt quite right… until this one.
We got to see it totally by chance. The listing agent was just leaving as we pulled up, and she let us take a quick look. It was so spontaneous, and that made it even more special. We put in a full-price offer, which felt fair, and thankfully it’s not going to a bidding war. That’s a huge relief! The timing is perfect too—we can close on this house the same day we sell our current home. It really feels like it’s meant to be.
On a personal note, I run a small antiques business, and my partner works at his family’s shop just five minutes away. With two young boys, having a stable home means everything. And in numerology, 13 reduces to 4, which symbolizes foundation and stability. That feels really meaningful for our family.
Still, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous. What if the “13 energy” brings challenges between us, or with the kids? But maybe those challenges will help us grow. I’m trying to stay open and hopeful. Buying a house is emotional—it’s scary and exciting all at once. This one just feels different, in a good way. Fingers crossed it all works out!
