I wish I had that feeling. DH had the house before we got married.
But we are looking into buying new construction. I will have the answer in a few years

I don't even know what the doorbell of the house I am buying sounds like. Never bothered to check it. 
But the inspection report says its functional so I assume he worked it and it works.

Re: so whats the first thing everyone did when they got the keys to their new home
We bought the house with the contents. The older couple who lived there were put into a home and the family didnt want to clean it out (so we got a great deal). Anyway, the first thing we did was clean it out and clean it up. Now, a year later we are fixing it up.

You arent insane, this is the biggest purchase a person can make! There is alot of pressure as far as deadlines and lets not even get into the financial part.
I think you are reacting totally normally.
I just want to get in there and get the 1st round of bills to see how life will be month to month.

I felt the same exact way. I was getting very nervous on the house deal because I wasn't sure what I would get with the co-op.
But I had a couple of RE agents over to appraise the house over the weekend. I also had my FSBO open house.
I had everyone telling me I won't have any issues selling my co-op... and I should get a good price on it so it eased my nerves a bit.

I didn't get as many people as I hoped. I don't think Newsday gets as much traffic as it did way back when.
I think with the housing boom... everyone is now "MLS Hunting"... and are looking less at the papers though.
But I might have a senior citizen couple that made me a fair offer on it. They own a house in Bellerose that I believe they have full equity in. So if they buy my co-op... it should be a cash deal which would be nice (assuming they HELOC the house).
I am hoping they follow through with their offer. They seem like good people and supposedly are going to talk to their lawyer today and the bank is supposed to advise them on the best way to pull the money out of their house.
But I don't want to jinx it so I am still showing the house. I have more RE agents showing up today.
