Well I am excited. We finally have finally found our hew house in Victoria. Fingers crossed.
Here is the link if anyone would like to have a little looksee.

It must be right cause the name of the street is 'Jack William Way' which is my late pops name.
We got an email from the estate agent saying 'Congratulations on buying your new home" WOW!! Now for the HUGE mortgage for a while - I NEVER thought we would be borrowing 1/2 mill $ OMG STRESS (no not really cause when we sell this one its all good)!! I seriously dont know how young ones get started these days honestly. I am scared for my girls.
Anyways - bank is organised, pest and building passed. I think we were really lucky because the property was sold previously but fell through (we have been watching it for a while) so the couple were desperate to sell as they have purchased another property - yay for us got it for even less than we were willing to go but had to settle for shorter settlment than we would have liked.
I think it may take a while to get used to the size of the block as we are coming from a 1/4 acre with a pool etc but its hard to find any yard in new houses (especially with that size house). We were bummed it doesnt have outdoor entertaining but thats something we can do later (as we have done it here) and the house size is more important as thats harder to build on. Anyone know a good housecleaner for all those white tiles - thank goodness the girls have their own seperate kids retreat area.
Next think is to get this house on the market.
