The sad thing is that as soon as I'm done trg (in about a year) I will be getting a raise, and probably would be approved for that much assuming interest rates aren't ridiculously higher. Who knows, maybe the monaco unit will still be for sale then haha.
Ah its meant to be, it'll be...the great thing about Victoria is there is an increasing number of condos like that with the refurbishment of some of the older buildings in old towne! - just be thankful they are somewhat affordable, I've been shopping around myself and in Vancouver, that unit would be a helluva lot more money
