Finally!

This past weekend, we accepted an offer on our house. It was a good offer and we are confident that the condition that is on the offer will be met before too long.

The people who bought our house fell in love with it as soon as they came through the front door. We saw them twice this weekend (!) because they wanted to show it to their daughters and then they wanted to be here while the home inspection was taking place. It is obvious that they love this place.

They need to sell their house before February 22 but we are confident that will not be a problem. It is a sellable house and the Winnipeg real estate market is still going strong. Not as hot as it was a year ago, but strong nevertheless. My gut tells me that even if their house does not sell, they will still go ahead with the purchase of this house.

Hurray! Eight months and almost 50 showings. Sleepless nights and then trying to remain optimistic. It's finally happening. We need to be out by March 29.

Many people have asked what our plans are for our next place. Michele owns a big, rambling old home in St. Boniface and we are splitting that house into 2 condos. Wes and I will own the main floor and basement, Rob and Michele will own the second and third floors.

After all the major renovations are finished, it will be a great place for us. In the meantime, I expect that there will be a fair bit of chaos in our lives for the next six months or so. Stay tuned for updates!
