Who would have guessed what the housing market would be in September 2009? We sold our home in Castlemore (east side Brampton) in December 2008 in hopes to grab a home closer to the city (Toronto) in the recession that was coming in 2009.
We were excited to get a bargain while house hunting in 2009.
Much to our surprise, it has been nothing but a SELLER'S market and 9 months of searching for a home has never been harder for us. This will be our 3rd home since Viv and I got married and has been a test of patience and prayer.
We finally found a home that we like but heard that 120 other people also liked the home and there were 9 offers including ours. We heard that the house needed a new roof. $15,000 for a new roof? Makes you think twice? It did for us. We were highly outbidded by one person who went WAY above asking price. So for now, we will continue to "be still and know that He is God" and wait for the right place and the right time. Back to house hunting again!
