Condo has been Sold

I apologize to my Reader Friends that I caused some confusion reference a recent post. I buggered up the Links and so had to delete the post.

Yes finally, We sold our Condo. We have to wait until the 28th of November before we could really count our chickens. That is the final dates of pull out for Financing or Legal problems etc.

We were asking for 219,00 and we got an offer of 210,00. Considering the economy we didn't do too bad.

We actual close on the 22nd. of January. We have booked an Apartment at at Place called the Harbour Shore Acres here in Dartmouth. It is half the size of what we have now so we are down sizing our stuff.

Tomorrow will be our first winter storm of over a foot of snow falling. I think we put stuff in an Auction tomorrow so we will only get pennies for our treasures as no one will go out and those there will benefit from no one to bid against them. Hey they have changed the date to Sunday instead so cool. But everyone will still have to dig themselves out of the snow to get there, Oh well at least it would have stopped by then.

I will put a link to the rentals should anyone be interested to check it out. We will be on a month to month lease so we can still look for places to live and wait until we see something we really want to have.

Ginny works right next door so how cool is that and we get a DND discount on top of things. She figures as she is next door that she will be late for work everyday now. On the slide show I am showing pictures of Dartmouth NS where we live .

It is great news mate, and am happy for you. We downsized in May and are loving the smaller, cheaper, simplier life style.
Cheers!

chris h- we are as well.

Dave- we downsized before but are in process of the 2nd time.

Mutley- We had 14 inches of snow on Saturday. The first snow fall of the season.

congratulations...i know that was continuing to be stressful and i think you did well on the price...downsizing is a good thing sometimes...lets you get the dust off of things and make room for new :)

Great news. I am glad it hadn't fallen through. It must be a great relief.

We had snow here this morning. I'm sure you'd be unimpressed - it was only a couple of inches but just enough to ski on if you avoided the drains sticking up on the road!! I think we looked a bit daft - but who cares.

It sounds like you did really well, OT.

I hope things progress smoothly and moving into rental seems like a good idea. I don't expect you have much time but ...

Requires some application but everything you need is there.

Daisy- there is a lot of dusting off. Getting rid of a lot of stuff.


RB- it is a great relief. That it is almost over with.
It does not matter if you looked daft or not as long as you had fun.

EK- thank you for the reference. Looks good.
Rental will be different. but think of the money in the bank we can spend on a whim. leave less to our Daughter.( Only kidding Mermaid). ;))
