So I was perusing Ginny's listings and came across this place - 1848 Colonial. 3BR, 1.5BA, 1,340 sq. ft. $335,000. As an idea to property prices this was only the 2nd listing on her site - the only thing cheaper was a condo for $165,000. The top of her listing was land in Redding, CT for $9,950,000. This Colonial is in a n older post-industrial town that doesn't do much for me but it's in one area of the town that I like - has a neigbourhood feel, one of our fave restaurants and is very close to some amazing hiking and mountain biking trails - sort of an older part of the town with quite a few colonials on streets that actually have sidewalks (shock horror!)
Been on the market 2 mths. So we're going to view it next Friday Dec 16th. Bob hasn't met Ginny before so she'll show it to us as our buying agent just for that day until Bob can decide if he wants to have her as our realtor. She's going to sit down with us and explain a little about the buying process and the viewing process. We were going to do this right before we went to view it but Bob suggested that we do it on a seperate occasion so that we can think of questions and not go to view a house with our heads spinning! So we have a pre- meeting with Ginny Wednesday evening which I think will be good and then the viewing on Friday as I have a vacation day and Bob is not on the road.
It's quite exciting as well as a little daunting but know that I know what we can afford and what we'll have to pay when (i.e. how much of my savings will be getting sucked away) it seems a little simpler.
