We've bought a house !!!!!
We have finally got a house............
It came on the market last Monday afternoon.....viewed it on Tuesday morning and by 2.30pm on Tuesday they had already had two offers - ours was accepted !!!! Arranged our mortgage with RBC.... got 5.2% fixed for 5 years Had our inspection on Sunday....boy he was thorough...he even wanted to know what plants were under the snow!!!! he really knew his stuff, it took 3.5 hours and he grilled the owners about everything. We were very pleased when he told us they had looked after the property and it had been finished to a high standard.....what a relief. So last night the two conditions were removed and we have gone 'SOLD'..... we get the keys 15th March. So we are off to Sherwood Park , and it's all R2D2 fault :p We are off to see the children's new school today, I am so nervous, the school they are in is great and they are doing so well. I do feel very guilty making them move...but what can we do, the house prices in this area are so expensive! We love Sherwood Park, it has a great feel to it, and everyone tells us it's a wonderful place to raise a family. We have a wonderful realtor, she is a very genuine person, and we really trust her. She has always been just a call away. Very easy to deal with. So if anyone wants her name please PM me.........and I am more than happy to recommend her. Linda |

Re: We've bought a house !!!!!
That's great news Linda! So envious of you :p
We looked at houses here again last weekend and I could cry at what they're asking for them.:( I'm glad that you've decided to stay in Alberta too....a move to another province might seem like a great and rational idea but there is so much involved and it's just another risk.....not like you're relocating from Manchester to Nottingham when you weigh up the distance factor! I've told Warren (my OH) that I really don't want to leave Alberta and if we can get on the property ladder here then we'll be different people all together.....even if it means buying in a small town out of Red Deer. Just need to land that permanent job first to get the needed mortgage advice :rolleyes: Well done to you all, Jaycee |

And what happened to property is too expensive in Alberta????? We're heading east???? :p :p :D Seriously Congrats and welcome to the Expat Alberta Property owning Family. ;) It has been a rollercoaster of emotions though.....last Monday we visited a couple of showhouses within 10 mins of our rental....Jayman wanted $518,000 for their basic detached :scared: Landmark were $460,000. The plots were around the $200,000. That's crazy money!!! Hence us thinking seriously about Ontario. We arrived home feeling very depressed to a message telling of the house in Sherwood Park.....the rest you know !!!! Thanks for everyones kind words.... Linda |
