Harmony: ds can't afford a place in the city. Although his hospital is on the west side of the city, homes in that neighbourhood start at $600K and one bedroom apartment condos are about $200K. He can afford, at most, $150K. This town he's looking at is 35 minutes on the highway from work and there will be about 20 houses this season that he can afford. The town has two rivers (ds kayaks) and is about 20 minutes from the ski hill. It is a good area for ds's recreational activities (hiking/paddling/climbing) and he's looking at taking up sport shooting and the gun regulations there are less than in the city and he'll be close to gun ranges.
Bilingualism is a requirement for many jobs in the city and ds works at the only hospital in the city where it isn't a requirement. There are 3 more hospitals, none that require bilingualism, in the towns near where he's looking to buy so if he was to change hospitals, he could work at any of those.
Ds grew up in a rural village and aches to get back to non-city living. So moving to the country or a small town would be a reasonable move for him.
He asked that I call him so we talked for a while and he showed me more listings. One of the first ones he sent me this morning he wants to keep for consideration since the property is zoned mixed use commercial so he could start a side business there. That's a reasonable argument to include it although my argument of no interior pictures therefore it is a dive is also reasonable!
In the meantime, I've started the financial arrangements I have to do for this. So that's another to-do started.
I'm finally s2s (the clock struck 2 as I got out of the shower!)
Now to have some 'lunch'. Not too much since it is an early dinner tonight because of the baby.
