Week 1 -- Instant Townhome visit
Saturday, February 17, 2007
Last Saturday, Hoen and I sought out to survey some areas of those houses we found online. We were able to survey two neighborhoods- one at Corby Street, one I forget. Both neighborhoods were ok. Very peaceful, clean and near the city. But we weren't able to get inside any of the houses until we got to the fourth house. This woman was holding an open house so even though it wasn't on our list, we walked in and checked it. I should've brought my camera! The place was so clean, and you can tell by the furniture that the owner had very good taste. Unfortunately, the price was way above our ceiling so we axed it.
Farther ahead was this townhome which we would've loved to check out but no one was home. So we went around the neighborhood and followed all the "FOR SALE" signs. This made us realize that we were in the middle of a Housing Community called Celebrity Homes. We became walk-in clients to this agent named Gary, who showed us one of their townhome models called the "Weston." We learned a lot about the square footage of the house, about which appliances come with the price and which don't, and a lot of other things. We loved it but after getting rather negative reviews from Hoen's officemates (they said Celebrity Homes builds on the cheap) and after having a broad pro-con list in owning a townhome, we decided to not consider townhomes just yet and prioritize on checking out single detached homes. After all, even though when owning a townhome means somebody else takes entire care of your lawn , garbage disposal and snow shoveling, it comes with a price. AND a townhome is attached to another house so if that neighbor of yours frequently holds parties and holds circus events at their garage, you can't do anything.
