Didn't that happen to a certain house in AmityvilleKristine.. said:I am convinced the house didn't want to be sold, and even when finally, after months on the market, a contract was entered into the house just dug it's heels in and refused to budge.
Kristine.. said:Well, today we have lift off!
Settlement finally occured this afternoon, but not without drama at the eleventh hour!
This has been such a convoluted and twisted path, the yellow brick road doesn't come anywhere near the many strange and peculiar happenings over the past couple of months.
I am convinced the house didn't want to be sold, and even when finally, after months on the market, a contract was entered into the house just dug it's heels in and refused to budge.
But when we turned the key in the door, it welcomed us with open arms. Brushed and polished, it looked charming in the soft afternoon light. And it even has a dishwasher, something which we were convinced it did not have.
After pottering about for a bit, we went for a walk along the beach. Waves have such a lovely ker-thump as they break on the shore, the rhythmic beat of a living planet. We stood and watched as the sun slipped - slowly - slowly - gone! below the horizon, leaving silver and gold reflecting in the clouds over the bay. We were sure we could have just walked across to Ricketts Point, the water looked as solid as reality.
In the twilight, the lights flickered on all around the bay, we could see the lights of Mt Eliza and the channel buoys and all around us the sounds of the bay.
Afterwards, a cheerful meal in front of the open fire at Doyle's overlooking the Mordialloc Creek.
Yes, folks, this is what property investing is all about. The ability to have a choice. Life is all about the exchange along the way, and we have exchanged our time and our committment for the opportunity to have and make a choice. We look forward to many happy years welcoming our family and friends to our (not insignificant) Cottage by the Sea, and you never know, Mike may yet sell budgies by the gate!
Cheers
Kristine
MrsW and I have agreed where we are going to retire.Brenda Irwin said:Now if Les and I could just make up our minds about retirement, and actually agree on how, when and where, we'll be doing well.
I am convinced the house didn't want to be sold, and even when finally, after months on the market, a contract was entered into the house just dug it's heels in and refused to budge.
However, Fate, in the form of Spiderman, has intervened. Spiderman sent me an email ‘Did you know the house next door is up for Auction?’.
So, of course, muggins here bought it.
