by I got an email from the body corporate in Wellington this morning. We now have a confirmed sale, at a price that surpassed our expectations so much that they wrote the amount in words after the numbers, just in case we thought it was a typo. The location – it’s prime real estate – must have brought out the competition. (There was a tender process.) I might break even, or perhaps a little better, after all the fees and what have you. That’s a massive result. When I bought the place I imagined I might do rather better than break even (ignoring all the mortgage interest) after nine years, but to escape from the wreckage of this catastrophe with just a few bumps and bruises, instead of being financially crippled for life, is amazing. Time to crack open the champagne!
