Mortgages

So after all the unsuccessful searching we've been doing, we had an interesting chat this past week with Eric's dad. He's almost done his mortgage and a guy in the ward who's a real estate agent told him about a great condo he has for sale at the end of the month. Trevor started to think about it, and then he sat with us and suggested we really start to think about it. That caught us a little off guard, but we did. We started to think about owning our own place. We crunched some numbers and downloaded the real estate ap and got excited about it - but not too excited, just the right amount. Tonight we met with a mortgage broker. It was a really fun experience and I think we both learned a lot.
In the end it didn't all work out that way. We and he decided it was a bit early, and that there was really no need to rush in to something huge like this right away. It's a bit frustrating to get back to apartment hunting, but this was a really good experience and definitely worth our time. It's closer than we thought, but just not quite yet.
