what will happen?

My life has been a bit crazy lately. We went to the wedding of a close family friend on the weekend, and my sister flew into town from Ontario to attend. Since she's here we've been traveling all over the province visiting family, and even though I'm trying to find a property, how can I NOT go visit my sick grandmother at the other end of the province if everyone else in my family is going?

So while I was out of town, Mark went to look at a property in the valley. I was very scared that we would like it exactly as much as the first property we saw and then we'd have to hem and haw and dither and make some sort of decision and second-guess ourselves, but that was not the case!

He didn't like it. He showed me the pictures and I didn't like it either.

By the way, we've got three different real estate agents working for us and I feel like I'm cheating on one of them with the other two, but I can't decide which one. We actually put in a conditional offer on the first property (yay!) subject to a second viewing (among other things), which means no commitment necessary on our part. It says we can go look at it again on the weekend, and if we decide we don't like it, we can walk. Seems like a strange offer but the agent suggested it when we asked to see it again just so that we'd be guaranteed to have the first offer on the table if anyone else decided they wanted that property. We're also going to see two places near Truro on Thursday.

SO...it won't hurt to see these places, and if we really really want one of them , we can still walk away from the first place without too much trouble.

Our lives have become a little bit consumed with house-hunting. We're getting advice from every person we speak to, and while that's nice, it's a bit overwhelming.

It was nice being on the road without a care in the world, not knowing where we'd be the next day. Back to reality, though!
