BTW, I see no reason I can't be specific on here about the actual house we've found as a first pick. Keep in mind, I'm not 100% certain we can get the financing, etc., set up in time, but this is the first place we've looked at that I definitely would love to live in.

Here's a link to more pictures. The place has a wonderful, open feel. The size is right for us (not too big). I wish it had a garage, but at least it does have parking pad out front. Also, the basement is a rentable apartment with a separate entrance. It's actually one of the nicest basement apartments I've seen. There is a full bath upstairs and a powder room on the first floor.

Cross you fingers...

Good luck - we like the neighbourhood.

It would once again prove my thesis that no Anglican in Toronto actually goes to their parish church. :)

Very cute!

Make sure you call USAA about financing. They can hook you up in about a nanosecond.

You know, I haven't tried USAA--but typically they haven't been able to help us because they won't touch anything outside of the U.S. unless you are active military. We've had to get our car and rental policies from another source. But it's worth a call....

Yeah, the old idea of Parish Boundaries is pretty much gone now. Consumer culture killed it!
