Buying an existing home is the choice of the large majority of people. One of the most favoured advantages to buying an existing home is that it exists in an already established neighbourhood, with trees, and community already in place.
There is no waiting for building to take place, no site plans to review, and the buyer has no need to second guess the quality of their purchase as it is already before their eyes. There are however many other aspects involved in the selection process. Some major considerations would include:
· The various types of dwellings available
· Their comparable affordability
· Suitability of location relative to work
· Availability of schooling, child care etc
· Nearness to public transport
Infrastructure and local amenities, such as parks, entertainment venues, sporting facilities, shopping centres, churches and social clubs can all come into the picture.
Owning one’s own home has long been a leading element of the great Australian dream. Whilst this would hold true for most people in almost any land, the affinity for Australian’s to own a small piece of their country is primary to our culture and extraordinarily strong.
