We're back from our successful house search in Innisfil, we hope. We put an offer in on a solid little Bungalow in Innisfil that needs some work but nothing major. My wife fell in love with the kitchen, which was renovated 18 years ago, but it was professionally done and still looks impressive. The lot is less than 1/6 the size of our current property, and it's a 2 minute walk to a nearby beach.
If the house inspection goes well on Friday, the deal is firm.

We're starting our process of what we keep versus what we move to a new house. We're #Downsizing, which means we have extra couches, beds, dressers, etc. Once we actually put an offer on a new house, ideally, in the next 2 weeks, we'll have a better idea of what has to go. Currently, we are cleaning out cupboards and building inventory for a garage sale in May, a month before our closing. We've got a few puzzles to sell.

Yesterday we completed the deal for our house - it closes on Friday, June 20th. Overall, we're happy, and now we start looking for our new smaller home in the Barrie area. In a few days, when I've had a mental break, I'll summarize what we did right and wrong in case someone else can learn from our selling process.

Big day today. The potential buyers are taking over the house for 5 hours for scheduled inspections - house, septic system, and well/water testing. Their mortgage and insurance companies are also doing an appraisal on the property. If everything goes well, and conditions related to inspections and appraisals are satisfied, then the deal will be firm.
My wife and I are spending the day doing drive-bys of potential home purchases in Barrie/Innisfil.
