Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3231675, member: 1992"] Okay, granted it's not great for everyone but truthfully it's not forced prices up overall. It's more it's bumped a few select places. One of the hardest thing for young homemakers to understand is that they aren't entitled to pick from the top shelf. I've heard the whinge about house prices but many, not all but many believe they're entitled to buy exactly where they want and there should be affordable homes available and it's all so unfair. My first house was humble but it became home. I looked at 54 houses before finding mine. I bought garage sale furniture, took second hand hand me downs from my YOUNGER sister. I wasn't blocked by pride nor did I think I was entitled to better. Not saying anyone here is but nothing I had was new. Second/third hand lounges, beds and cupboards. I built fences with weatherworn timber. I could afford three little mock orange offshoots per fortnightly pay and grew a grand hedge over years. I was also a single father. I sacrificed my wants for my son to send him to a good school, to pay for music lessons. It seems a lot of the whinge I hear is from people who believe they should or must live in the best suburb or their suburb of choice. Sure, sour old man ranting if you wish. I think the best strategy is to be humble at first and work like a demon killing the small mortgage and then using that financial muscle to get the desired home in the desired suburb. This isn't aimed at you and I won't clog up this thread with more. Besides, it's a dead thread so it's probably not a biggy. [/QUOTE]
