The Announcement II
Well, the majority of you were wrong in the poll about my Announcement. Suppose I haven't really said much in the past while to indicate what the real truth is.
The "Announcement" is...
I bought a house. I co-purchased a house with one of my brothers. Our offer was accepted last night so now we're just getting all our ducks in a row (lawyer, inspection, etc.). Closing date is May 22nd.
We bought the house in the town we both went to high school in so I know the area. The property tax is cheap and we both have friends still in town. I'm basically the same distance away from Toronto from when I was living with my folks. We're just north of Orangeville in a town called Shelburne. We're doing it as an investment, 3-5, years when the market hopefully gets better we'll sell. Lots of houses on the market there as a lot of plants are shutting down in the area that people depend on. Now they don't have jobs, they have to leave and find a town that has jobs. Unfortunate, but fortunate enough for first time home buyers.
