*BANG* SOLD - For WAY MORE!

Yes. It's official. Our house in Steveston has now been sold. It was sold through a bidding war.

There were 4 offers at the out-set.

1 of the bids was by an agent who was purchasing for himself and his new wife.

1 was from a French family and they had their agent come in and present to us directly. The absolute shocker about their initial bid was that it was 25k more than others AND no "subject to's". (WOW! No home inspection! WEIRD)

It was almost 4 hours to get all this done but I'll cut to the chase.

Our house sold for 50k over asking!!!!!!!!!! This is huge for us b/c now it puts us in to par with our new house. (We were over-reaching before).

OPEN HOUSE PICS - If you want to take a look at the pics from our Open House this weekend, please check them out on Facebook.

Special thanks my bro-in-law Steve for making a garden out of a terrible yard from bamboo stuff. Also, thank you to my Mom - Trish. She was a heavy-weight behind the steam cleaner. Who knew? They actually work!!!!!

If you're interested in looking at our new home we will be in just over 30 days, check out Shutterfly's TinkerTownHome site.

"Start Spreading the New".... "Vancouver Vancouver!!!!!!!!"

Yup. 5.5 years in Sunny Steveston is coming to an end very soon. We are buying a place across the street from Science World on False Creek in the very near future. We're all very excited and very busy.

But first. We must sell our place. Today I used craigslist for the first time to sell our huge wardrobe and had it disassembled, out of our house and got remunerated for it (1/2 price) all is less than 12 hours. This could get addicting. NO. We have already decided to donate everything else. If you want it, come and get it. We probably have what you're looking for. But hurry.

The rest of the house is getting stored, packed, placed or whatever for Open House look.

Enough of all this, here's the situ. It's located at 1288 Quebec Street. It is NOT where the A shows. Look south to the Vancity building. We're the building almost under it on the north side. Our town-home in the furthest right of the 6. If you look in satellite, we're the one in the sunshine on the East.


Here are some of the pics we took on our walk-through. Sorry they don't look great but taking pics was not the focus of the trip.
