I came home to find a registered letter from the condo builder. I knew it was possible that the letter would contain good news, but I knew that it was even more likely to contain something more bittersweet. Seems my hunch was correct. For the longest time, talk of the possession date has been prefaced with the term “tentative.” With this letter the term has now changed to “confirmed.” Great! Right? That’s all well and good, but the actual quoted date has changed from April 8 to May 25.
Unlike the last time the date changed, I’m actually quite at peace with this change. This move means I’ll have another two pay cheques banked by this new date. I’ve mentioned this as well last time: it allows me more time to gather more resources. I’ll have enough to post a 20% down payment, but is that a good use of money when I need cash to pay for appliances and furniture as well? We’ll see.
Once again, I’ve reset the clock on the widget to the right. Right now it’s saying “Only 5 months and 7 days left.” All in all, that’s not that long from now. I’m still psyched–none of this will dampen my enthusiasm. 2009 will be an awesome year.
