It was coming, Just a bit late. We sold back in April in Cloverdale. The buyers wanted Sept 1st and we were OK with that. In the meantime we found a few houses and put an offer on one in Tappen for full ask. It was all good till we saw the gabian rock wall. The sellers also said no to a septic inspection and pump out so we did not counter their offer. We then put an offer on a place near Fintry. 15K above ask and we got knocked off. Those two offers were based on us selling here and then our buyer fell through due to financing. Wife then shows me a house in Blind bay. NICE house but I said they will never take our offer because of Sept dates here that we were OK with. We talked to our realtor and she said they are OK with Sept dates. Cool. We offered full 775 ask. Only subject was viewing in person.Originally Posted by finngun
I brought a buddy with us who happens to be a house inspector. He looked, I looked and we found 3 small issues. A couple weeks go by and I get an odd message on facebook asking if we can move our dates up. After figuring out who the person was I messaged them (sellers) back. Said our hands are tied due to our sale. I texted our realtor and asked if our buyer were firm on dates. Damm, I get a call from my wife 2 days later saying the buyers now want July 16th possession. I said SAY YES. Then I message our Blind bay people and get new dates from them for July 30. Been a busy couple weeks now moving stuff to Logan lake. We are filling that house up fast. I figure we have 3 trailer loads left in surrey. One goes up Monday and come Friday I officially retire. That will give me 7 days to empty and clean the house here. I keep looking at BC assessment to see what the other 2 houses sold for. FWIW, 775 will get you a nice house. It is a 3-5 minute walk to the lake and we have a slight view of the lake.
The sellers invested a lot of cash in the house. New top of the line dual HW on demand with radiant in floor heating. dual split ductless top of the line AC, Top of the line generator. I know it is all top of the line, I have copies of the receipts and looked them up online. Roof is a 40 year and done 3 years ago. 2 car garage with deck out front. Told the wife I want to remove the garage door and move it to the end of the deck and enclose it. I will now have an enclosed 4 car garage. Also has a suite if we want an extra income. In short, We are quite excited.
Then the heat wave came. Then Lytton burned, Then we had to get insurance. Last time when we bought a house in Logan lake, I come home one day and see subject removed for acceptable insurance. I ask the wife and she says realtor told her to remove it. I said I have been trying to get ins. No one will issue it. Wildfire too close. I said you just gambled with our money. Everyday I checked the web site and when I saw no fires, We got a policy. So today I was at BCAA and got a policy issued. What a relief. Their concern was any evac orders in that area.
