Before I go on, perhaps I should tell you about the housing market in Saskatoon & Regina. Since the market is so hot, a house is listed at a suggested price. When buying, you then have to look at the house and really "guess" what you think it's worth and how much you would pay for it. If you really want it you have to hope that you are the highest offer and with no conditions or conditions that the seller will accept. If you are the highest offer, you really have no idea how much higher you are. This same thing happened when we sold our house - good for when you are selling! Our house went for way over asking price - that I like! Houses are selling like hot cakes and with in days or even just a day!
Back to my story...House #2 - we shall call "Slopey House". I don't think there was one straight or not droopy part on this house. It was huge and ah, slopey. It could have really been a nice place but it just hadn't been taken care of. In this market it had 40 showings and not one offer - not a good thing.
Now for the good stuff - House #3.
We loved this house and the people who own it were kind enough to let us see it before it even went on the market. The house didn't go on the market until Thursday April 19th and actually closed that night. What is the news? We made an offer and the house is ours! Yipeee - wooohooo - yaaaaa It's close to Jen & Jay, Tammy & Regan and not too far from Kim & Chris and Carmen & Jared. Yipity Skipity. Alright - here are some photos of the new place.
The outside is pretty...wait until the grass is green.
The living room and kitchen are all open to one another.
Probably going to be my office on the main floor.
The outdoors...
No, there won't be any animals on the walls downstairs.
