Honestly this kinda what I’m betting on but I’m jumping in now. We’re listing our townhome in the Canyon Meadows this week, and hoping to land inner city in a slightly larger/newer townhome.

We’ve been in the burbs just over 9 years now, about 4-5 years ago the commute really starting getting to me, but we still had access to downtown amenities 5 days a week so I tolerated the need to get in the car for a cup of coffee or breakfast on the weekend.

But after a year of WFH, it’s gotten super isolating, and if we end up with a mix of in office/WFH in the coming years… I’d still rather be close to downtown.
