There are actually two bathrooms on the main floor - one off the bedroom has a shower, whereas the one off the kitchen also has a bathtub (which is weird for a supposed powder room).

Alternatively, the main floor bedroom has its own bathroom, except it's located right off the kitchen.
That bathroom also serves as the only option for guests when you have people over.
Some might say that house has charm and they like the idea of a renovated older home... but at $2.2m there needs to be more functionality. | It was assessed at $1.3M. Does the owner think that this has 800K worth of renovations or something?
Knowing nothing about Fort Langley, but isn't this sooooooo much better at the $100K less? https://www.rew.ca/properties/23072-...ail-langley-bc

I live in Port Coquitlam and we frequently take the 25 minute drive out to Fort Langley to have dinner (96 avenue is a nice driving road). I think Fort Langley may be one of those places that is great to visit but not to live unless you are really into a quieter slower pace. The main strip area is small and cute and geared towards tourists but there really isn’t much in town for everyday amenities though Lee’s Market has most of the basic groceries you will need. If you are close to the train tracks the trains are frequent and noisy and travel at a high speed. The mosquitos from the river can also be quite bad in the summer. $1,000 per square foot for a condo in Fort Langley seems outrageous to me but who knows for someone it may be the right lifestyle choice.
If you are ever in Fort Langley and want to eat some great sushi Wabi Sabi Sushi is great. It is fairly new and I just ate there last night and it was stellar! Wendels bookstore also has great food at a reasonable price and the Blacksmith Bakery is also very good for desserts and sandwiches.

Well, news from my buyers is that they are having difficulty selling their current home and they may request an extension to the closing date. Interesting that they bought my home without condition to sale of their property but are presumably depending on that equity... that would cause a lot of anxiety if I were in their shoes.
In any case, they will cover carrying costs (interest, insurance, tax, and utilities) for the extension.
Any experience with this before? I'm inclined to give a specific but not indefinite extension. Do I need to talk to a real estate lawyer now, or wait on it a bit?

well if they walk they lose their deposit so consider that...then i think you can also go after them for what ever the difference is to the new buyer assuming the new deal is lower.

If the extension doesn't cause you any undue hardship, I'd consider giving them that flexibility. Better one bird in the hand, than ten in the air.

We did put part of the debt on the HELOC instead of the fixed mortgage portion expecting to pay it off once this sale closes, so with the extension my realtor is asking for the extra interest to be covered for the duration.

In 2016 the old company I used to work for built 3 custom homes right beside the fort Langley fire hall, all 3 were built in 2016, I believe at the time each one sold for about 1 million.. fast forward now looking at E-assessment…
9120 Edal St - assessed at 2.4
9128 Edal St - assessed at 2.62
23123 96TH AVE - assessed at 2.35
More than doubled in less than 10 years.
