Episode 77 — Q&A 6 Part 2

So the next question that we had was, is it better to spend more on the land or the house portion of a build?

Well, it depends on the buyer.

Yes.

But what's your thoughts? Like if it was you, what would you say?

I'm much more down the route of spending more on the home because I don't mind driving the extra distance.

But once I'm in the home, I want to feel safe.

like a nicer home, if you will, like a bigger home.

You want to feel

comfortable.

Like what you're working for, you can feel, you can reap the rewards of.

Yep.

Bang on, I'm the same.

I'm more of a, I'd rather have a nicer home a little bit further away.

I can always get up that extra 10, 15 minutes earlier to have the home that I want rather than trying to buy into an area because especially in more established areas like where we've grown up in the northern suburbs, You know, the demographic isn't very similar to people like us.

It's more older couples and generations.

So all of a sudden, you know, you're buying into these areas where people have been around in those same streets for fucking 15, 20, 30 years.

Decades.

Right.

And then having new people, you always go, fuck, here we go.

Especially me with my obnoxious cars all the time, fucking rocking up with the drift car and the Falcon and everything else.

So I would rather be more in the new area that is up and coming, but I get to design that home and spend more on what actually matters more for me is what I would prefer.

It just comes down to each buyer, right? So we've got heaps of clients that go, I don't care.

I want to be in a specific area.

And I'll rather go for a smaller block to be in that area.

And that's fine.
