Congrats Biscie!

I'm of to see a mortgage advisor tomorrow to check my expected upper limit I can get for a mortgage will be around $250,000 US, which will get me approximately a studio the size of a cupboard in London.

And 50K? Wow, just wow.

That is so fucking cheap, considering you are only one province over.

Is their a garage?

What is the population of the town you will be living in?
There's a car port, not a "true" garage. It's enough to keep the snow/frost off my car.

As of 2006, the population was 76. It's the smallest official town in Saskatchewan.

Congrats on getting a house and such an amazing deal on one at that.

Stocky, your woes about paying large sums of money for living in small quarters are similar to those living in Manhattan. People dole out heaps of cash to live in a space comparable to a shoe box. But the trade off is prime location.

Thanks guys!

Amendment: After the inspection, I put in a revised offer of $45,000 (to cover costs of doing some fixin' in the house) which was also accepted.

The fix-ups aren't too major and most of them can wait until spring. I've already gotten quotes on what materials would cost and secured some handy family members to assist.

Now the real work of getting insurance and stuff begins!
