Well, the roller coaster ride continues...
Last Saturday we decided to start trying to work out where the real estate market stands and where we fit in with our plans and budget.
To that end we picked two "cheap" houses to look at and two that were way above our budget. The two low end ones were, ummmm, not to our liking
One of the top end ones (out at Williamstown) was completely perfect except for the more than the price - getting towards $100k more than we can possibly spend. The other one is out at Greenoch. They were asking way above our budget but we liked the block (~2 acres) and the location so we made and offer that was $70k under the asking price.
Weirdly, an hour later they accepted the lowball offer.
Yesterday was pest and building inspections - that hasn't gone so well...
