Okay, i know we said we would wait a few months and see what the market does, but the right house came along at the right price, soooooo.....yes, we bought it.
For those who know Nelson it is at the end of Douglas Road, Annesbrook (on the hill side). It has 5 double bedrooms and a swimming pool. We also still have a sea view when standing in the lounge. And our mortgage is less than 1/4 of what it was. We should have it paid off in about 2yrs, then we will do some updating work on the new house.
We still have the contract where we have to rent our old house for 6mnths, but that's cool as who wants to move while quite pregnant or with a new new baby, but the bonus is that the people in our new house are willing to rent of us till we are ready to move in which will be mid March.
We are planning on staying in the new house for a long time, but it really has the potential to grow with the family (in age not in size). The pool will never grow out of fashion no matter what age the kids get to (or the adults!!). There are two bedrooms downstairs that will suit older kids (don't want to be too close to Mum and Dad) and the laundry down there has a loo at the moment, but we will turn it into a second bathroom (teenage girls!). The garage is huuuuggge!, so will accomodate the laundry being put in there.
When i get a chance i will try to get some photos.
