    Red face Buying a house

    I have a question when you are looking to buy a new house is there such a thing as the perfect house or is that asking to much

    What are you doing up so late young lady?

    No, there isn't but a good house has a nice "feel" to it when you walk in. It is a very hard and stressful endeavour to buy a house but be assured if you miss out on a house you really wanted another "ideal" house will turn up somewhere else.

    I reckon I could do my perfect house for around $10 million.

    To me a place with a triple garage is the perfect house.

    +1 on that!! I think that was the deciding factor to sign our souls over to the bank.

    This

    I have a list of the four or five really important things that I want - for example if you have a bunch of bikes, you need a garage. But I am prepared to compromise if other features impress me.

    I think we have the perfect house (for us)...its way to big for the two of us but we wont let it go because it cant be replaced.
    It has enough garage floor space for 15 bikes....a seperate pool table and bar area. Wonderful views in all directions except south.
    Gas heating/ceiling fans/two story/massive back yard (which I dont have to mow) a big deck. Three bedrooms upstairs plus an office/one 7X 3m bedroom downstairs...yeah its perfect....for us.

    Bloody high roller!

    I could have mine for a fraction of that. 50sq metre house and a 150sq metre garage.

    There is... You can't afford it
    If your willing to take your time however you can find a bloody good suitable house/property at a price you can afford but you must decide on what's really important as compromise will have to be made.

    One thing i'm finding hard is the house can't be on the main road (I have to cats) already had one hit by a car couple of years ago dont need another one a big kitchen would be extra perfect and a enteraining area out the back (deck and enough room so I can start up another organic vege garden again)fenced would be extra good to.I'll just have to keep on looking I spose like EdBear said when the perfect house comes along i'll know.

    Least I have one extremly large weight of my shoulders the house will be morgage free

    Decide what the must haves are, after that it's easy, when you walk in you'll know it's the right house

    The last 3 houses we've bought, it's taken us about 5 minutes to decide we wanted to buy, the others we looked at it took about 30 seconds to decide we didn't.

    Latest purchase I got as far as 7x6 garage + 6x3 motorbike shed = sold

    I would borrow, buy something with a larger yard. Who knows in the future you may want to build on the back and have a new home made to order

    More $$ more perfect less work

    Wealth and poverty gaps are widening dramatically, could be a riot one day, something to consider. Also The Mount and Papamoa and eastern Coromandel and Northland and and and have a long history of tidal waves..... things like that

    Cones may erupt again....

    As people have said you'll soon know when a house is right...we've just moved house and took us all of 5 mins to out an offer in.

    Find the area you want to live in then just go to every open home you find :P

    You could always buy a piece of land and then build on it, we'll prob do that in the future as really do need a HUGE garage!

    Lucky you for being mortgage free...we have 2 mortgages but luckily the tenants pay for 1 of them

    Good Luck with your search
