Is it the one on for 189,000? If so HANDS OFF! we want to but that one next year...so fight you for it! Where in Halifax are you again?

No this one was on some acres and probably abput 260 something, I was browsing for fun....................looking right up to 4 million - hugely entertaining and great info for when we win some lottery that we never enter!

We are on the cusp of Spryfield and Flemming Heights..........according to our landlady........but pretty much Spryfield. Not got a good rep, but I have driven through similar and worse in other areas round town, so we have no complaints. That and we arent in the middle of it, we are still towards the nice end of Herring Cove Road. So up Herring Cove Rd after the Armdale Rotary and we are before/opposite Sobeys, about 1-2 km from the rotary.

( I am quietly hoping for a slump in house prices so that we can swoop in and grab a bargain..................well we were the sellers in that kind of market when we sold, so its about time it happened IN my favour!!!!) Fingers crossed for you too!

I have no idea where that is!! I know where I am now and where I (hopefully) new house is and that is all! Should take me around 2 years to work out where everything is I think!!

If you hear about a slump in house prices let me know as I too want a bargain!

I think that's the one I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful old house with a pool set in a huge garden? But I guess it'll be gone by the time we get there. We still haven't booked our reccie.........but hopefully by tonight!

Yes lynpy, thats the one!! It looks lovely..........though OH shrugged when I showed him it, because he cant face having to drive into Halifax and get a parking space each day! We are just living in fantasy right now, but do let me know what you think if you view it! I just loved it, we are into decorating and I love that era of house. How funny you knew where I meant! And the house market is NOT that fast here, especially in the periferies, so you never know! When are you thinking of coming for a reccie and moving here??

Hey AmyDavid, did you see the house yet and did you like it??

Hi Poppy2
Looks like we'll be over for the first 2 weeks in May! I'm just figuring out where we are going to stay and how I can make the reccie a bit of a holiday for the kids without wasting valuable time. Windsor and Wolfville are both high on my list of places to live as we hope to work around the Kentville area but have easy access to Halifax & the south shore.

I'm embarassed to say I spend far too much time window shopping on mls.ca when really I should be putting my energies into getting to NS!

Where are you?
Lynda

We have not long been here ourselves, just over 2 weeks, and we had not been over for a single reccie visit, so mls was our friend too!

We need to be pretty central for Halifax as we will both be working here and dont fancy really long commutes - though I did say for that house in Windsor I would consider it, which scared OH!

Maybe when you come over you can have alternate days for reccie stuff and for holiday stuff. Couldnt possibly advise you on what to do and where to go, but there really do seem to be some good things to do here. All depends on the age of the kids.

We are in Halifax, not far from the Armdale Rotary, on Herring Cove Road, if you know it. Not my ideal permanent location, but fine for now!

Hope those tickets are booked, maybe we can catch up when you come over, we have a 10, 5 year old and an 18 month old.

Having no reccie before you landed sounds both scary and extremely adventurous!

So how are you finding life in NS now you've landed and presumably already started working - and with 3 kids to get settled!?!!

Tomorrow I will be booked on flights for 3 May, presuming my meeting with sons headmistress goes ok.

Yes, we do seem to fly by the seat of our pants rather a lot, we move to New Zealand for the last 4 years on a whim, but that worked out well enough, so we thought we would do it again before schooling got really serious. We are here for the longhaul now, and really pleased with our choice. It met the needs we identified that were lacking from the UK and NZ, so thus far it is a thumbs up. And being the worst time of year to land, the summer and fall should be great.

Hope the headmistress is feeling magnanimous when you see her , sounds exciting! And get those tickets sorted. PM me and we could meet up if you fancy a coffee.

we are hoping to go out first two week in may too

We did see the house and it was AWFUL! So we have opted for the town house we saw first! Get the keys tomorrow and move in Friday! HURRAH! Only prob is that the wife in the family that own the house and who now live in Calgary with no intention of coming back did a paint effect thing in the living room and is insisting that it DOES NOT EVER get painted over...and its not really my taste.....! My plan was to take a snap and then paint over it and re-inact it when we move out....!!!

We are staying in a fabulous short term rental at the moment - right on the harbour in Dartmouth - 5 mins walk from the ferry and right near the bridge (cannot remember which one though...!)! If you would like a link for the house pm me and I will pass it on to you!
