So it was just over a year ago that I bought my condo. It's currently under construction, and my strongest feeling about the whole thing is relief that I don't have to buy a condo!
I've never felt it's strictly necessary to buy a condo, but I have felt that it's strictly necessary for my decision to rent to be the best choice, which meant that I needed to keep running numbers and researching prices and basically working on buying a condo even when I wasn't buying one.
But the numbers and the situation turned last year, and I managed to buy the exact unit I wanted, which means that for the past year this omnipresent chores has been off my to-do list!
Condo people are always asking me if I'm excited about the new place, and I'm not. I have no negative feelings about it, but my positive feelings aren't as strong as excitement. However, I have been incredibly relaxed and stress-free for the past year because it's no longer up in the air. The complex multivariable equation of what/when/where/if has been turned into something simple: hoard money and throw it at the mortgage.
That I can do.
