Due to the delay of our new home, we intended to wait until June to sell our current home.. However the idea of waiting was causing me a lot of stress! Especially with lots of recent intervention from the government to bring down the cost of housing. Ultimately, we decided to take a risk and go ahead and sell now. Our rational was: we know what the market is now, but don't know what it will be like in the future. Plus, we're in the spring market where more people are shopping for homes!
We listed our townhome the afternoon of Monday April 24 and already had people visiting that evening, and an offer came in on Wednesday April 26, which we accepted! We could have possibly got a better offer if we had waited, however the offer was very generous and the new home owners let us push the closing date until the end of August which was important to us. Now we just have to be hopeful that our new house isn't delayed now (our we will be paying our parents a visit)!
We are super excited for our new home of course, but also very sad to leave our first home! We live in a great, quiet location with no homes located across from us (which is arguably nicer than the location of our new home), and we have very friendly neighbours. So we will have to start coming to terms with leaving soon!
Anyways, below are some beautiful pictures taken by our Relator's photographer. We think the photographer did a great job and even possibly made our home look better than it looks in person! We borrowed a few accessories from our Relator's stager (who I loved by the way), but the majority of stuff we had was fine.
Take care!
