This does all seem a bit sureal. We have been looking to but a house for the last 5 months, and had many issues, or perhaps we are just fussy, and not having enough cash what with the prices in Sydney. We had certain requirements and always seemed to be pushing about our means. We lost out on 4 houses by people just bidding above us. We must have looked at about 1500 houses online and visited about 100 (every sat). And then there were the concerns of affordability with Jac being of work with Archie for this year.
Well of course, one week after the birth, we just signed a contract on a place, with a '5 day cooling off period'. I needed it as it has been quite sweaty this last week. Fingers crossed - we will be in in 7 weeks.
It's on the Northern Beaches in a place called Cromer/Collaroy Plateau, about ~15K's up the coast from the city, and best of all 5 minutes from the sea, is in ok nick, but has room for improvement - such as eco'ing it up a bit...
