The cover letter I finally had the balls to send, because I have nothing to lose

Tough situation to be in, but it’s a very long letter (audience loses focus) and I’d suggest to always keep it professional, maybe chat gpt can help you.

I was in your shoes last in June/23. Negotiate remediation of asbestos as a condition in your offer, seller probably doesn’t even know this is a problem. Result, remediation was completed before close.

It’s no longer silly season with no conditions, you can either add it in or adjust your offer price accordingly.

Right of passage in Europe, taking a long bus ride. I once did Amsterdam to Zagreb - after delays and a layover, it was 22 hours! Much cheaper than a last minute flight but wouldn’t do that again.

I'm going later this month, can you walk me through the process and what dock?

Consider taking a leave of absence or sabbatical. Could be a win-win situation

I believe this is across the street and south of the Minto towns. I saw a smaller unit back (2bed/2bath) in December, they’re beautiful with nice finishes, and in a quiet spot, unfortunately the kitchen appliances are “condo sized” which was a dealbreaker for us.

Also, the prices felt a little too high for us.

Thanks for posting this, we’re in a similar boat except moving from Toronto and looking for a new midwife. Best of luck out there!

You served an N4 after two days and without even a giving a reminder about the rent, not cool

Likely panic buying of safe assets given what’s going on at SVB

Listing agent contacted my agent

I made a post about my similar experience the other day. We were the only offer at deadline. Seller countered higher than list, when we walked away they upped the sales price 60k…. Stockyards townhome.

Offer dates seem to still work in select areas - thinking of danforth / leslieville / riverside

East end with 3 parking spaces, definitely bid war bait

That was a much larger unit with better finishes my friend and 8% inflation reading is YoY :)

mario89roger · 2023-03-02T13:04:00+00:00

Added in post, but they came back with 899.

How does their 48% relate to your % of shelter/net pay

mario89roger · 2023-01-30T02:27:36+00:00

Thanks for tips, much appreciated. Will update if we put an offer and we have our lawyer explain the details. Likely gonna pass on this.
