I BOUGHT A HOUSE!
As you can see, I might be just a little excited about it. It all happened so fast at first - the viewings (first and second), the big decision, the offer and the counter-offer, the inspection, the financing and sorting out the insurance. All of this within days of the house coming onto the market! So now all the conditions have been met, the sold sign is up, I've given my notice to property management at my apartment, and all there's left to do is wait until closing.
And wait, and wait, and wait....
Closing is on October 22nd. For anyone who's counting that's 38 days away.
I know there's lots to keep me busy - my To Do List is loooong! But man, I just want the wait to be OVER!
The house is sort of a dream-come-true, which is what a house should be, right? It's your biggest purchase, afterall! I went through a "must have" list I drew up back in 2009 (when I was obsessing about the Berwick house), and my house meets all of them, plus some. The house has 3 bedrooms + a basement family room, lots of storage, a decent functional kitchen (albeit with less counter and cupboard space than what I have in my apartment) with a separate dining room, a great backyard that's treed and private with enough space to garden and enjoy, plus a clothes line, 5 appliances included, walking distance to a grocery store and close to amenities, it's close to all levels of schools, and though I haven't lived in the neighbourhood yet, it does feel like a neighbourhood.
Yay!
Can you tell I'm excited?
