Houses...
Every so often I troll through one of the real estate websites here looking at houses for sale as the market seems to have stabilised. Not so much wild buying going on, which drove the prices through the roof about five years ago.
I've seen some places which don't look too bad, but there is one which is my dream home.
It's quite a compact place but it's the seclusion which is seriously enticing. There are some neighbours but not too close and not too many. The house is surrounded on three sides by native bush. My mother would have nothing to complain about, plus being surrounded by native bush there are a lot of birds which she loves.
A big downside is the commute for me to get to work. Curently it's Sunday afternoon and Google Maps directions is staying that it would take me an hour to get to the airport. I'd hate to think what normal traffic would be like.
Also being so out of the way there is no supermarket or public transport. I think there might be a restaurant and a general type store, but not much else.
The area also has a beach but I'm not sure if it's good for swimming. Would definitely be good for walking.
It's been on the website for six months now and supposedly they have reduced their asking price.
So frustrating.
