The house hunting was a long and unsuccessful project. We found some lovely places above our budget, some great places (well, great for another family) and even made an offer... however, we hadn't found our dream home.
It was only a recent decision to look for some land to build on - well, a house that could be knocked down to make way for a new era.
On 20 July 2013 we registered as bidders for the first time ever. It was an old house in an ideal location. The auction was the most stressful thing I have done, and at no stage did I ever really think we would come away with the property. But we did!!!
The place we purchased had been home to a family in Canberra for generations. They can recall a time when there was farmland across the road..now there is houses, a school and many suburbs beyond. It is time for a new era. We are going to make this our family home.
I looked for advice and information about a new build in Canberra, but I couldn't find much out there. It is all new for me, and I am so excited. Join me on this exciting journey to create a place to call home.
