I've been rather preoccupied the past couple of months. My lease here at Orlin Ave finishes at the end of July, so I've been thinking for a while whether I would renew, or look to buy something. The market here is very good at the moment, so I've taken the plunge and signed the agreement for this place last week.
It's a 1925 one and a half storey with a great fenced yard that Fin and Tutu should enjoy. It belonged to a work colleague who has recently married and will be moving interstate. Whilst it's an old place, it's in pretty good nick, so I should be able to 'just' move in. I'm also in the process of lining up a room-mate to help me through the first 12 months or so with the mortgage and think that I have a possible there - more news when that's certain. Moving date is 27 July and I'll take the following week off to unpack / recover from the shock! Here's the Google maps link and a couple of pics from the realtor.
