To add to the bad news - been on the market 2 weeks so far, not a single viewing

Need to be in Canada by end of September, so if we don't get some action soon, may have to think about drastic action

FlirtyKnickers

The housing market at the minute is terrible for everyoneTry and be positive, you still have time to get it all sorted by September If all else fails could you rent it out and head off to Canada??

G77

Trying to stay positive and it is early days..... Renting out is plan b - problem is, mortgage has gone up so much that the rent wouldn't cover it, so we'd have to put in the difference ourselves

FlirtyKnickers

I know the feeling..we're waiting on our PPR but have put the house on the market anyway..just incase we get a positive reply from CIC the problem with us is there is no plan B..really want to be done with his place and start afresh in Ontario..and we also want to be able to buy a house when we get there(fingers crossed), so we'll have to sell no matter how long it takes

We should just do a swap, how do you fancy a 2 bedroom bungalow in Toronto

FlirtyKnickers

If it was three bedroom i'd take you up on your offer

Elaine B.

Damn I was hoping to get a quick sale
I really need 3 bedrooms too having a baby girl and a five year old boy sharing a room just isn't working.

I guess if house prices are dropping it's good news for me sucks for everyone else trying to leave. Where abouts in NI are you?

FlirtyKnickers

Just outside Antrim..about 10 mins from the airport..really handy, four bedroom house so you can have loads more kids if you want!!!

Elaine B.

Sold will you take Canadian dollars? Damn I forgot I can't drive

FlirtyKnickers

If you take it i'll pay for your lessons

Elaine B.

Sounds like a deal. I plan to learn before I turn 40 that gives me just under 7 years.

FlirtyKnickers

Why wait til then..no time like the present

Elaine B.

I'm going to start learning as soon as I get back to NI there are enough idiots driving around Toronto without me adding to the chaos. (OH can't drive either and has no interest in learning.)

FlirtyKnickers

Public transport here is good..where are you moving too?

Elaine B.

Now don't laugh....Larne At least to start with as my parents are there.

Not sure where we'll buy a house but I figure once I learn to drive I'll have a few more options.
