We've been looking for a new place for months. Today, I went to take a look at a condo unit at Novena, without Berry, as it could only be viewed during office hours. It's one of the cheapest unit that can every be found at Novena. I like the place. Small as it is, there's a sense of serenity in it. The only thing is it's tenant-occupied. And the owner wished for the tenant to remain in the unit, if possible, as she has been a wonderful tenant.
I told Berry about it. Without even looking at the unit himself, Berry told me to offer a price to the agent. I thought, what's the hurry? Berry said the location was prime. And the price was good. So what are we waiting for? Besides, he had a hunch the government was going to implement a new wave of policies to curb housing price hikes.
And so, today was the day I single-handedly negotiated the price for my potential new house. There really was a lot at stake and so much considerations. I have stopped working for a while. My business hasn't exactly picked up. We could be overstretched with a new place. Anyhow, we went ahead and the owner accepted our offer!
It felt like a dream. Is this what God has in store for us? I certainly hope so.
