With the house up for sale and a puuuurrrdy sign out front (have you seen Lacey’s signs- they are beautiful) it was time to decide “where” do we want to live?
With Matt’s job keeping him in Richmond/Vancouver and our kids attending a fabulous school in Langley we felt strongly that we really wanted to stay in Langley, and if possible stay on the south side to be close to Hwy 99 for commuting.
With Matt’s job keeping him in Richmond/Vancouver and our kids attending a fabulous school in Langley we felt strongly that we really wanted to stay in Langley, and if possible stay on the south side to be close to Hwy 99 for commuting.
Keeping to our goals of simplifying life and reducing our mortgage debt we decided to start our search by focusing on the Brookswood area of Langley. It would meet our needs for keeping our kids in the same school, was a great location for commuting and would reduce our mortgage substantially so that if Matt changed jobs and took a pay cut it would not affect us.
We decided we would buy an older Brookswood home on a larger lot (***land continues to appreciate and there is only so much of it to go around***). This would drop our mortgage substantially, give us yard space for our growing three kids and allow us to do some renovations to make the home how we wanted it.
Our Brookswood search proved fruitful and we found a home we were ready to buy. Only one problem, we had no offer or substantial interest in our place.
So we waited, after looking at a number of homes we took Lacey’s advice and decided to “simmer down”! (***don’t get ahead of yourself, one step at a time***)
And while we waited we got an email that changed everything….
Nice cliffhanger hey?!?!? *grin*
