So I called our realtor about that guy who owns a property up in these hills in an area that Tomek and I really like. It's full of trees, a nice stretch up and away from busy roads and the city, but only 10 clicks from where we live now. Our realtor hasn't called him yet, but she is going to today—he said to give him a week or two, it's now been a week so she's going to call him and see if he'll consider selling the place he was planning to rent out in August. Our realtor seems to think he's leaning more towards selling than renting again, especially since he just did renovations 6 months ago—including new carpeting (I'll be saving for laminate flooring!) and new appliances. It apparently classifies as a townhouse, not a condo, and based on the other 2 bedroom places in that complex, it's over 900 sq. ft. I have the building number but not the unit number. I want to drive by and see it. Tomek and I already have been up that way and I already could envision myself living there. But I don't know what the unit itself looks like… I don't want to get my hopes up too high, because what if there are things about it we don't like? Like small windows? Sigh. Or no in-suite laundry? Ulp.
The owner might need more time to think it over… but she has let him know that she has an interested buyer. Really, we'd have to see the place first. But no one lives there now, and if he did decide to sell, I think he'd just go through her, and she'd come to us and the place would never be listed publicly. Fingers crossed anyway.
I can feel myself grasping for that hope that maybe we still might move before LB is born. At least, it would be good to have a place bought before she's (that's what I typed… hmm) born. Then we could have a big moving party after that… if he wanted to rent in August, maybe we could move in by the beginning of August.
My hopes are up.
