Ducks in a row

Seems like all our ducks are lining up in a row now.

I know I have mentioned in a previous post that we would not and could not settle for anything less than a certain amount but sadly the interest in units is not as great as houses and all the price indications and offers we got were substantially less than what the agent quoted us to date.  Over the past few years the price on units has been falling (about 18% according to rpdata).  We only fell a few grand short so in the scheme of things its really nothing.  At least we can move on with our lives and our build.

So we have accepted an offer on our unit but it comes with a small shortfall on what we based all our budgetary figures off but on the plus side we have a shorter settlement and a rent contract lined up so we dont have to find a place to rent, no canceling and reconnecting services, no additional mail redirections, no storage fees and we wont have to organise all this with 2 little tackers getting in the way* It's the stuff moving nightmares are made of. *sorry boys you will be a thorn in our side here*

Because our unit will settle before our land, we will be cashed up making the loan for the land much easier and allowing us to progress to the next step.

Now we are able to get things moving with a builder and hopefully get to the state where we can start building early in the new year.
