Makes me happy when you discover a new restaurant with really good food. An Italian restaurant opened walking distance from my home. It opened about a year ago and I just never found my way over. Last night, my friend and I were being lazy and decided to walk over. While the food was a little overpriced, it was heaven. We did the whole shebang. We had apps, main courses, desserts. Everything tasted incredible, great quality, so I have no problem paying a little extra if the food and experience are good. Kinda pissed at myself for not trying it earlier. And it is a little family owned place, so a nice break from chain restaurants.

We have a conditional sale on our house! If for some reason the buyers back out we get a 10K deposit, so it's not the end of the world, but I'm told only 2% of conditional sales fall through.
The best part is we got really close to the asking price. I am over-the-moon excited and finally have a solid number where we can start house hunting.

Congrats! That’s always exciting. Especially because you were concerned it wouldn’t sell.
Not to rain on your parade but I would assume 2% of sales of conditions not being met is way too low. And if conditions aren’t met the deposit gets returned.

If the buyer doesn't meet the conditions the deposit certainly isn't returned.

No that's not true. Lots of buyers do not wave conditions for a variety of reasons and they almost always get their deposit back. That's why it's held in trust. You could try to prove they actually did satisfy their conditions and still didn't wave and thus are in breach of your contract. But that's not common at all. Hopefully yours do wave.

Well, I will have to ask my realtor for clarification as that's not how I understood it over the phone.

Your deal and the deposit is dependant on conditions. They can’t just decide to not buy it now without losing the deposit.

Yes they can, as long as they conditioned it properly.

I don't think most buyers put the condition of "if we decide we don't want to buy it" on the contract.

Nor would a seller accept such a condition in almost every case.
Not to sidetrack though. White out I hope it all goes smoothly and works out for you! We just moved into our new house yesterday so I share your excitement!

What’s the condition? Inspection? They can say they didn’t like the inspection, no review required, and their deposit would be returned.
If it’s conditional on their finances then maybe you’d have a case. But you’re going to have to fight them for it.
All in all buying/selling houses is a pain in the ass so I hope it goes smoothly.

So you're def right, the deposit isn't quite as iron clad as I thought. But my realtor is sticking with his numbers on conditional sales falling thru. Also, half the time it fails its due to inspection and since we're a 5 year old home won't be an issue.

I wasn't too worried about it not selling cuz the house sucked, just the market is weak. But for houses in our area our size it's actually not that bad. We've had 3 more viewings since our home was conditionally sold, so the interest is there. I'll breathe easier on the 22nd when this moves into a more official sale

As part of my Christmas present, my wife took me out to see the Calgary Inferno play today. While they lost, it was a pretty enjoyable experience. I haven't really been inside of a community arena since I stopped playing hockey nearly 30 years ago.
Going to the game today in the Okotoks arena felt like I'd stepped back in time 30 years. Good times.

WRMMH is finding a safety deposit box key. Not just any key, but the one that my mother-in-law had kept somewhere before she passed away almost a year ago. My wife and her siblings have been looking for it on and off for the past year, but guess who found it earlier tonight? This guy! Feels great. Of course it was in an armoire that had already been looked in, but a little basket in the back corner under some papers caught my eye.
Nobody is expecting early Microsoft shares or anything, but there should be some family items with sentimental value. Not to mention those intangibles like not having to wonder anymore, closure, etc.
I was in the camp of "just pay the $250 fee and have it opened - it isn't worth worrying about" but having the key makes it so much easier. Tomorrow my wife and father-in-law are going to have a look, and even if the damn thing is empty, it will be nice to know once and for all.

Do you live in Okotoks? Hit some AJHL games, they're a good time for cheap

Good point. I wonder what it would be like if it was a flaky excuse. I'm sure the inspector has to write exactly what they found, but I suppose no home is 'perfect'. I'm sure most houses have a cop out if people wanted out, such as original water heater, area with risk of pooling water, or some such.
