Looking back at a post from January 2010, I can't help but chuckle a bit. Can't believe four years have past and I'm moving again. This time:
1 full week of cleaning and preparation
2 days on the market
3 offers to purchase
4 showings (only)
SOLD! for full asking price (THANKS AGAIN KAREN!!!)
However, I can't help but feel a little bittersweet. I thought I would miss Northtown a lot but I only miss it a little, that being my first ever condo. But here, I poured over blueprints, plans, did all the pricing and marketing, sales opening, office closing, assigned all the parking/lockers, chose all the finishes, watch the building get built, fussed over the problems, deficiencies and finally settled into the home I "put together" from start to finish. I love everything about this condo: view, size, bathrooms, ALL my finishes (my backsplash!!), appliances... but in another month, I'm going to leave this baby of mine. :'(
What I DON'T particularly like about this place is everything that happens outside of my four walls - how the building is run and basically, the people living here.
I know I must move on and constantly tell myself I can't stay here any longer. From an investment point of view it's leave now or leave never. Too many developments are under construction in this corridor and all the new stuff will make this building look like it was built in the 90's. Time to leave 小芬, time to leave...
Come July 7th, I will officially be homeless until the new TH is done. I thought I would luck out and rent the boss's son's unit short term but that's a no go. Now I have to quickly find a place (stress), finalize my damn colour chart for the TH (freaking stress ^ 27635162 as it already took 2 months and it's still not done), move twice (stress x2), then settle in finally and then go through the entire process again in a year (stress ^27635162 x2). WTH did I get myself into??
Dammit, I'm going to miss this place ...
