Congrats on your quick sale. I have had good luck with bbva compass and USBank.

Chase offers very competitive jumbo loans.

Concord-Manchester corridor. Compared to Toronto, the home prices are like stepping back into time. Four-five thousand sq. feet on multi-acre rolling landscaped lots for the price of a 1940s 900 sf TO bungalow. (I shouldn't let this secret out!)

Congratulations! May I ask, what is your game plan for healthcare?

Turns out I backed out of the sale as I have to deal with a suddenly discovered health concern and recuperation. But still planning to sell and move south next spring.

It seemed that finding a health policy through a broker would be the best bet.

(Having been here since Pierre Trudeau was PM and Nixon the Prez it will take some adjusting.)

I hope you'll be fine after this development, Worthy. I don't say much in this forum, as I have a home in Maine that I bought in 1986 that I LOVE, but I often enjoy reading your replies in threads here. As a future 'neighbor to the right', WELCOME to the states.

Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Nothing life threatening. I'd just prefer to have two eyes rather than one!

If one day you start seeing curved lines when you know they're straight, don't ignore that key symptom of a macular tear and wait for it to turn to a macular hole. But it does make me exceptional: one source says only three in a thousand people over 60 develop this problem and it affects women more often than men.

Very scary! I'm glad you found out now rather than later. Feel better.

Yikes, quite scary indeed. Life threatening maybe not, but definitely life altering. Glad you found out early and hope you get better. Excellent advice, never take sight for granted seek medical help if you are experiencing Any kind of pain or vision issues.

Good that you are taking care of yourself!

Are you reconsidering NH after our president called it a dump? ;-)

^^^ I thought it was a drug infested den?

Worthy - glad you are taking care of your sight!

You're right...

Six drug-related fatalities from fentanyl-laced heroin here in the City of Churches, as it was once called, in the last week alone. Hundreds across Canada this year. So, unfortunately, I should feel right at home.
