Living on your own

Sherwin and I rented a condo unit for 2 years and now living with my mom-in-law for almost three years. We can't live with her mom forever though so we looked for a place that we can call our own. We're lucky to have found a very nice and relatively cheap two-bedroom condominium unit near my mother-in-law's house last year. It's still on a pre-selling stage that's why it's cheap. After making the necessary research, we made a down payment and we're now only waiting for 8 months before we can move in.

You'd think after making the down that I would stop look for more properties, right? Wrong. Browsing through real estate websites is my second favorite past time, with furniture window-shopping being the first. There's just so much to choose from these days. House and lots are way too expensive especially if it’s near the city. Which is why condominiums, with its location and affordability, are now getting popular. Condominiums have now evolved into many shapes. There are resort-type condos (that's what they call ours), luxurious condo hotels, low-rise, high-rise, family condos, etc. It's a good thing condos have become affordable or else, we might end up just renting (again) or buying a house in an isolated, inaccessible area.
