Just bought this 1100 sq ft 3 bedroom 1.5 bath townhome for $220,000. It's older but it'll do as we save up for something better 3-5 years from now.
Late update because of so much back and forth yesterday and I was battling a bad headache, but last night, 4 days later, we have an accepted offer. I was determined not to accept below asking after a strong flurry of activity, but she didn't lowball, the realtors offered an olive branch by reducing commissions to make up the difference between my counter offer and her counter offer to my counter offer, and I appreciated the quick respectful transaction, so we took it. I'll give the full details after the subjects are removed but I will comment that my wife and I are very happy with the final number.

Selling and dealing with multiple offers can be a headache on its own. Now onto packing and moving. Just remember to purge before packing.

The purging was mostly done for the staging. The packing & moving is next. Mostly in May.
Not bad. Not a terribly long distance move? (Sorry I'm selfish and haven't kept up to date).Four U-Boxes for me with up to 3 months of storage will be $2383.60 plus tax or $2.32 per cubic foot. Going down to three U-Boxes will cost $1871.70. So the drive to minimize is there if we just don't need it or it can be affordably replaced once we settle in.
Not bad, works out. Have you considered trailering the boxes yourself to save some money or too much trouble?
Yea the PODS, not sure if they have a trailer for that purpose. U-Haul has it apparently which I'll take advantage of to at least transport the U-Boxes between from Kelowna U-Haul to home and back. U-Haul handles transport from Kelowna to Edmonton. I could also access the U-Box from the U-Haul location it's in.
Secured the new place in BC, owners willing to hold till August (thank goodness as the r/e market in the Okanagan is white hot right now) So now we list and sell our place here in Alberta. Hope it moves as our market is pretty saturated right now.This is stressful......
