House hunting here we come!

So the big day to start house hunting is tomorrow. We have two properties that we have requested a look at. One of which being the house that we're secretly in love with. Note to self: must down play feelings about the house in front of the sellers agent if s/he's there!

It's a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath town home in our current neighbourhood. It needs a little bit of TLC, but we really feel like we could put our stamp on it and make it a home. The only major work it needs is a kitchen/bathroom overhaul, but it's not a must-do right now and we could live with them as is for now.

We had a little confusion with our real estate agent this morning about what exactly we had to work with but it seems to be solved for now. We were approved for one amount for a single (detached) home, but being we're looking at town homes, we will not be eligible for the full amount because of the added cost of condo fees.

So please cross all fingers and toes that our visits tomorrow go well. I think Andre wants his parents to come with us, so it should be interesting!
