Ok so instead of answering every one's question one by one, I figured it was time to "put it out there". J and I have listed our house and have been negotiating back and forth with one couple. I had some more interest in our home last night and showed it this afternoon during a lunch hour.
I have given the couple a deadline of Monday to make a solid offer with deposit through a lawyer to have a Dec. 1 possession. Now that being said we could easily make Dec. 1 work if they didn't have things they wanted complete in their offer. They don't want to take over our claim with the city, so it means we would need to fix the ceiling and walls from when the sidewalk and street were replaced this summer. It's not a big job, but it would mean finding someone to do it. We have to book a storage unit for our stuff and oh yeah, the big one, find somewhere to live!
We have been lucky, we were offered a place for December (thanks S & J) and a place for Jan - March (thanks mom & dad! - they'll be in Mexico for that time) then we could easily rent in Bissett until..... our build would be complete.
That's right J and I are seriously thinking about building, however until our house is sold, we are sitting in a holding pattern. We do not want to commit to something until all our loose ends are tied up. I know that is not the traditional way of looking for houses, but that is something the bank has recommended and I understand why.
So this evening the couple is taking one more look and then hopefully we will have an answer soon.....
