On the move
Posted on November 29, 2005
We've been keeping our eyes open for a two bedroom apartment since moving back to Canada but with the baby due in early January and the in-laws arriving shortly after we decided to step up the search a few notches. After losing out on a beautiful suite in a 1912 heritage house and other ideal suites that either didn't have shared laundry or even a bathtub, we decided on a large two bedroom in one half of a 1950's side by side duplex. Our rent and utilities will be going up (oil furnace) but it should be well worth it to finally have an in-suite washer/dryer, driveway, and fenced in backyard. Hopefully the current tenant will be out a week or so before the end of the month so we might be able have Christmas in our new home. Only 32 sleeps to go.

Property prices are absolutely insane right now. Even with all the recent housing developments we've decided to wait a few years before buying anything. Rent will set us back $875 /month plus around $100/m in heating oil during the winter. Won’t be walking distance to the office any longer but nothing a bicycle can’t handle.

Wow.. but that is a large two bedroom. I shudder to report what I pay for a moderate one bedroom. :-(
