Anytime between November 2015 and May 2016. The rental market in Van is horrid and I also suffer from the curse of animal ownership... it's seriously like a fucking petting zoo in my house.
Complicated situation for us though, between where I am at financially and my current work situation it's probably best we delay the move until early summer 2016.... but I really don't want to endure another Alberta winter.
We're also fixed on a house/townhouse, so the price point we are facing is somewhere between 600K-1.25M.
My spouses grandpa lives in an old home in deep cove in a nice area, I keep telling him how much I love his house so that hopefully he sells it to us for a decent price.
... in reality though I'll tear that shitty old bungalow down in a heartbeat and build some gaudy monstrosity for the neighbors to moan about.
