Well, after a day of house viewings in the Drake Landing area, we have found the home we want to buy. It's a brand new 'ready to go' home just around the corner from where we are renting. It's a lot bigger and nicer than we thought we could afford, and I think we've got a really good deal - which has cheered us up after taking such a drop on our UK home price.
Much nail biting was done once we submitted our offer, and after a little negotiation, we had a deal! The house is detached, with a south facing rear yard, 2150 sq ft of developed space inside, with an undeveloped basement (one of our first projects as we have to have space for the rellies and friends to come and stay!) It has a front den, a large kitchen/diner/sitting room across the rear of the house, a HUGE bonus room at the top of the stairs, a large master suite with a double shower, large tub and twin basins, and 2 good sized other bedrooms. There are views of the Rockies from the rear bedrooms and our bathroom, hardwood floors through the downstairs and granite worktops in the kitchen! It's a fabulous house and we feel very lucky to have found it! Completion is set for the 4th December, so fingers crossed all the legal stuff goes through quickly. Our container of furniture is due in Calgary on the 1st of December, so this should tie in really well.
