We put an offer on a condo on Thursday evening. By 10:30 we had accepted their counter-offer and are on our way to buying a townhouse again! It is 4-bedrooms and the backyard backs on to Sakaw park which neighbours Robbie's school!!
We got it for $211,500 which is not bad at all. Our mortgage payments will be similar to what we are paying in rent...might be a bit higher with condo fees but only by about $100. I so much prefer to own instead of renting. Rather my money go into my own equity then someone elses!
Robbie's bedroom will be on a different floor then ours! The second bedroom on our floor will be a sewing room until we have another child. The fourth bedroom will be a computer room for now. There is a large crawlspace for storage! Which leaves a big basement part for Robbie's playroom.
Built-in dishwasher, front loading washer and dryer, built-in vacuum are all wonderful too. I would have liked a glass top stove but having so many extra cupboards is a good compromise!
Our backyard has some cement blocks and grass! We have not had grass for the last 3 years! There is also gardening spaces! I am so exited! The back gate leads right into the park and we have 2 parking stalls!
