Oh god. *is excited*
So, I haven't really been around LJ lately, what with my vacation, Easter and now, house hunting. That's right, I got pre-approved for my mortgage and am hoping to meet with a real estate agent tomorrow! I'm getting so excited!
I've been spending far too much time on MLS. I currently have 63 tabs open of potential places. I'm a little sad that all of them seem to be condos, I was hoping to avoid condo fees. Of the 200 or so places I've looked at in my price range, only about 8 have been freeholds. Still. I don't think a condo would be bad for me, it just seems like a lot when you're paying $200+/month for things like snow removal. Ah well.
Also, it's a little weird right now trying to figure out what part of the city I should look in. I'm planning on busing when I'm on my own, and I know that with the way the buses are set up (most of the routes go through downtown) sometimes living closer to where I work won't mean a shorter commute.
Oh god, oh god, oh god. Soon *crosses fingers* I'm going to be a home owner!

no subject
I'm sure I'm not going to be able to help but leave a running commentary, since it's pretty much the only thing on my brains right now.
I went driving around the city tonight checking out the neighbourhoods and exteriors of some of the places. I can't believe how close I'm getting!!! :D
