Signed

I can’t remember if I said that I’ve been looking for a place to buy. I started in October. It was a month too late. Just a month earlier, it seems like I was seeing places in my price range. One month later, and things were suddenly much more expensive. Yikes!

I’ve had a patient realtor. He’s shown me a bunch of different places. I had a list of things I wanted in a place, but nothing I could afford had them all. I slowly started taking things off the list, but it was difficult.

In the end, I found a condo in the same complex I’ve been renting in. I love this complex. The people are nice, it has lovely landscaping, the condo fees are comparatively low, and it’s a great location – north of Kihei, and in walking distance to the beach and an ABC store.

I signed the papers yesterday. If I’m reading my papers correctly, that means I’ll close on April 15. So exciting!

The list of pros for this place: two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a sunny lanai for me to grow plants, hard surface floors for easy cleaning, a re-done bathroom with nice tile, nice appliances, and TWO parking spaces. In the picture below, it’s the upstairs unit.

That tree just got pollarded. It will look better in a couple of months.
