Movin' On - Yah - but where?

Okay. We've been looking at stuff. A lot of stuff. We've been confused by the amount of real estate that's out here. But after a while, we've decided that for what we "respond to", there's a limited amount of choices.
So we make a major move and put in an official "Bid" on a house we like. We feel it's a good bid - a "market value" bid based on our studies of comparatives.
She doesn't like it. She thinks it's way too low, and she wants what she asked for to start with.
We object.
Silence.
Then she says she'll vacate the house a month earlier than we asked! We ask the realtor - "what does this mean? Is she saying she'll bust her ass to get out of her house as long as we'll pay her what she wants?"
He's not sure.
In the meantime, we meet a completely new place - a downtown Parksville place - a cosy, elegant, little spot that would suit us perfectly. Not grand. Not fancy. Not on a golf course. Not in a rain forest. But brand spanking new, at an exceptional price, and just as sweet as can be.
So this is where we are.
Our new realtor has other sights to see tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
