Buying a home

Well, we have officially grown up!!! We are going to be buying a home, we hope. Its a little scarry but I'm sure we will be fine. It is a nice new home, not even built yet. It is located in a nice developement in Sooke, call Sunriver Estates, about 1/2 hr away from where we live now. This developement is growing rapidly and we have managed to secure a lot in the second phase. Right now there is about 300 home in there and ther will be around 800 by the time the deevelpoement is finished. There is only about 10 lots left in this phase and the next one will be even more expensive, but then again EVERYTHING around here is expensive!!!! I like the fact that we get some say in how the house is put together. I mean that we get to pick colours and alot of the little things that when buying a normal house you don't get a choice. Little things like lighting fixtures, door knobs/handles, flooring, cupboards and of couse anything extra that we want ...like a jetted tub in the master bath!!!! And YES we will be getting the jetted tub!!!

If you want to check out the house it is the Driftwood plan and we will be adding a basement onto it as well.
