I just sealed the deal on a nice 3 bedroom house last night! The real estate agent called me about 7:40 last night to inform me that they had accepted my offer without and counter-offer on their part. It's small, but more than enough for what I need. Here's the run down:

- In Hamilton, below the mountain
- Single storey 3 bedroom (2 on main level and one in the basement)
- Finished basement
- Single car detached garage with parking for five car in total
- Patio in the back

Hopefully I can get some pics on Tuesday when I go to look at the house again with the building inspector. I've still got some of the legal financial stuff to do, but otherwise I take possesion of the house on July 5th! Hopefully I can get together a house warming party before the end of the summer.

 

congrats!
if you thought that your car was a money pit
owning your own house is the best.
good for you to not be one of thoughs people... (buying house Must sell my baby)

 

Thanks And no, getting rid of the car was not an option...I searched high and low for a place with a nice garage for I would have a place to store it when not in use.

 

Congratulation's Man, Knowing that your monthly payment's are building equity in something that you own is a great feeling,I couldn't stand the thought of ever going back to renting....enjoy......SR

 

awesome dood!!! I'll bring the Keg for the party!!!! hehe... congrats on finding one with a garage too.. now you'll have to hit the niagara area more often, since your not far away at all... oh, by the way... Hamilton is where I got my GTA

 

IROCKER thats killer! Where is the house? East or West end? Whuts it near? U may live very close to me.... This is gunna be sweet man.... We can go kruzin all the time!

 

Congrats on the purchase,feels good eh.

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of home ownership.Nothing better than purchasing your first home. If you were like me, it was "I want a garage that comes with a house".Just ask my wife.

 

Kev, you nailed that right on the head! That was my number one search criteria...if it didn't have a descent garage and adequate parking I wasn't even interested in looking!

SR: You darn right man! No more paying someone elses mortgage!

Nathan: Yup, going cruising will be much easier...just gotta get my car back on the road (I broke something else yesterday )

Smoka: West of Wentworth between Cannon and Barton.

skidoo: You betcha...it will feel even better when I more in and get the garage set up!

 

Dood... what did you break now? Am I gonna have to get up there and fix your car for you?

 

It's the little plastic connector on the end of the TV/detent cable, that hooks onto the throttle linkage...I was soooo pissed. Again, my car will be undriveable for the next couple days till I can get a whole new cable ordered. I just hope it's as easy to install as it looks because I need to get it done by Thursday at the very latest.

 

How did you manage to break that thing?

 

IROCKER u live about 4 mins away... I live just off of barton too but more near Center Mall... This is gunna be sweet havin a fellow IROCKER in the neighbourhood... Theres barely any around here..

 

Congrats!

Welcome to the wonderful world of debt, I mean home ownership!

 

Smoka: Cool!

Nathan: All I did was blip the throttle...kinda scary considering it could of happened while I was driving. Anyway, I ordered the cable and it's only gonna cost me about $20. I may just get a place to install it for me as this weather has really been sucking lately and I need it fixed. I gotta hunt around for prices first to see.

TA Terror: Hess Village here I come! Unfortunately it's not within staggering distance.
