The
Australian Dream hinges on homeownership; for one, it's a sure-fire
sign of stability. There are two routes to this dream: an existing
home or one built from the ground up.
Either
way, owning a home is a serious investment, regardless of the state
of the real estate market. That cosy property facing Swan River may
as well be the last home you'll ever need, in the best sense. When
given a choice between the two routes, however, you're better off
building a new home. Change is why.
Every
time someone comes up with a more efficient way of doing things,
their doctrines change. A house built today will be a far cry from a
house built 30 to 40 years ago. Wood windows and doors may have
existed far earlier, but can they withstand the rigors of an angrier
Earth today? Keep in mind that Australian weather can be particularly
harsh, especially to homes.
Building
a new home will also allow you to get what you really want. If you
want to relocate the kitchen, building it at your desired position
will be more convenient than extensive renovations later on. You'll
also be able to fit the home with modern marvels: insulation, air
conditioning and heating, and energy-efficient lighting to name a
few.
