VANCOUVER --
Carson Farrell put an offer in on a townhouse his pregnant wife had never seen in person.
And about a week ago, he said goodbye to 12 years of renting and they officially moved into their first home.
“We’re still unpacking,” Farrell said. “There’s painters in as we speak.”
It wasn’t the couple’s first offer on a place. And it wasn’t an easy process to get to the point of becoming homeowners.
“A lot of the, I guess, nicer places, were out of our reach,” he said.
Farrell says he would have loved to stay in New Westminster or move closer to family in Surrey, but prices forced them farther out into the suburbs.
