WE’VE gone to a few home opens and viewed others by appointment, and nothing. Nothing worse investing in anyway. I don’t plan to spend money on land that I won’t own (strata development) or huge plots of land with houses that need at least $30,000 worth of renovations (that we can’t be bothered with).

So yes, we might think build, just like we always dreamed of. The difference? It means we might have to venture further north or south, but it means we can get the house just the way we want…
