House

We just bought our first house. We will be moving home in late July to early August:) 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1180 sq. feet, full basement.

Saskatoon

Hi it's Karen here. Once again Blogger won't let me log in under my own user name. I will be in Saskatoon from June 13-20. I will be busy visiting with family and getting everything ready for our move. But please call me and maybe we can go for coffee, drinks, lunch or dinner:) I will be at my dad's, 374-4658.

House Shopping

So we both have jobs in Saskatoon starting in August, so we are trying to buy a house. With the way the Saskatoon market is right now, houses are selling 1-3 days after being listed, they are selling for like 30,000 more than asking price, and the average price of a house went up 20,000 in the month of April alone. So we are a little stressed about it. So what we have to do is look at pictures online, tell our realtor what we think we like, send our parents to look at the house and then decide if we want to make an offer or not. We made an offer on one house, it was listed for 219,000, we offered 255,000, and it sold for 277,000. So we didn't get it. Yesterday we get a phone call from Jeff's parents about a house, and we had two hours to decide if we wanted to make an offer or not as they were accepting offers until 6pm. We didn't go for it that time. So really, this is not a fun house shopping experience at all. I am soooooo stressed out about it, it's driving me CRAZY!! But something will come up and in the end we will have a house, and we will move home and all will be right with the world again:)

May Long

I am so jealous of everyone back home. I'm reading on facebook about all of you going to the lake and such. Well it's not even the long weekend here in the States. Next weekend is memorial day weekend, and I work on the Saturday night. So once again, no May long weekend for me!!!
