We're only a few days away from unlocking the price freeze in our contract (which we had signed mid April) and we're starting to worry exactly how much more we'll be charged. I can see on the builders website the base price of the house has already gone up by 3K, so I hope its not much more than that.
On some more annoying news our valuation came back from the bank at 3K less...how ironic, 3 is one of my lucky numbers <insert more frowny faces here> I hope we don't have any more pain from the bank, I've read a lot of people in Wallan are getting undervalued mainly due to the fact that real estate stats are non existent.
Surely it can't be all bad? Well, no it hasn't, I guess its given us a bit more time to save the moola.
We went to visit our block on the weekend past..It looks like our block is ready; we have a cross over, all water gas and electricity connected and its been flattened/leveled, street lighted (not a work but you get my drift) and street signed. There are a few pegs around and all over it looks like majority of the blocks are ready .. so hoping that we are only days away until we go for settlement. Driving past the land sales signs we could see that all the blocks in Stage 1b are sold too, so at least we won't need to worry about paying for a full fence.
Stage 2a in Woodlands Edge opened a few weeks ago. It faces east of our block so I can only imagine the amount of construction and the noise it will bring whilst we are in (hoping still be end of year). The blocks in 2a seem to be extra wide, wondering how much they're selling for.
I've been doing a lot of research on the types of flooring, sustainability and the interior decorating I'll be planning out..ideas to come :-)
For now we're just waiting for each day closer until we reach settlement of our block <insert slightly grinny frowny face here>
