Saturday 22nd June
Welcome to the weekend, today we got up and had a fairly intense property hunting day. First off Kate and I went to visit a place in Lane Cove and then headed home as it wasn't right for us.
We then went out again and took Bill and Carol with us this time, a strategic move as we wanted them to view a property we had bid on earlier. Before we got there we visited one other place in Lane Cove which looked like it had not been decorated since the 60s or 70s.
Anyway we arrived at Murray St and sent Bill and Carol in to ask lots of questions and get their opinion on the place. they came out and we had a quick discussion before we went back in for our third viewing. The agent was pleased to see us as we had dropped out of this place two weeks ago after we had a bid of $467K on the table but saw another property we bid on later at $519K and missed out on.
There were many people viewing Murray St today as a result of lack of property coming into the pipeline so demand is up.
We decided there and then to offer on it again once we got home. A call the to the agent and we settled on an offer of $455K with condition vendor took it off the market this weekend and we signed the contract.
To speed things along we went to the agents office and signed a copy of contract anyway and paid a 0.25percent deposit.
We headed home and waited. The agent struggled to get hold of the vendor for same time, about 2 hours later we finally got call to say property was ours. We are now well on the way to owning our own little piece of real estate in Sydney.
We called the UK to to tell them the news and they were happy to hear our news. It also means they have somewhere to stay when they come over for Christmas.
We got some takeaway in to celebrate in the evening.
