The Big Move

For the past 11 months, I have been living in the city of Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Weatherwise, it's about as far frm Edmonton that you can get and still be in Canada. I love it here, but there's been one huge problem: my family is still living in Edmonton. We've been trying to sell our house, and my wife and kids stayed behind to help make that happen.

Well, it hasn't happened. We recently withdrew our house from the market, and rented it out. We will be renting a house out here, likely until the market shows some signs of recovery.

This means that, in about 2 weeks, my little family is going to be reunited. I've only been getting back to see them about once a month, and it's really starting to wear thin.

I've missed nearly a year, and all I can do now is hope that this move to Vancouver Island is worth it.

Hi Collin. I came across your blog about moving to Vancouver Island out of sheer luck when I was
browsing the Internet and I'm pretty sure you had made the right decision when you moved to Vancouver
Island. It's an interesting place in my opinion. Oh, and I feel sorry for the issues with your previous
house because as a Vancouver realtor, I know very well how hard it is
to sell your house even with a real estate agent by your side. But don't give up that easy, I recommend
you to try and look some more for advertisements and professional help, it can really solve lots of
problems. Jay
