Not even a cardboard box...

So it seems we have just bought a condo! It's still subject to a pile of conditions like viewing the condo docs, getting financing, inspections, etc, but we've just accepted a counter offer for a place on 124 St. & 109 Ave. for $147 500. It's a two bedroom in an older building (late 60's, early 70s?) so we will have to look carefully at the various condo docs and inspections and so forth, but it's a simple 3-storey walk up with no fancy things like pools and parkades to break down and cost the moon. So here's hoping. The place has a tenant with a 6-month lease so we probably can't move in until late winter / early spring and we'll need to do a little work on it like painting the walls and maybe, if we get ambitious, tearing out the carpeting and replacing it with something else.

Oy! Scary stuff!

Oh - you can see a picture of the outside at mls.ca - enter E3068577.

Don't count the square footage just yet... we've still got some conditions to meet - like financing and inspections and condo docs and it's all got to be done before Tuesday night! Most irritatingly, our seller upped the condition date by three days and has an agent who hasn't yet given us the condo docs to review - not helpful. But still, here's hoping.

wow! I hope it goes well. I think I used to look into your parking lot. Is there a little white stone-sprayed number nextdoor?

We're actually across the street from where you used to be... well, and down a little. Pretty close, though! Dunno that it's actually going to go through though - we're having trouble getting all the condo docs from the seller and the conditions are supposed to be removed by tuesday night. Getting a little suspicious about the place.
