Buying a Condo

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!
