new year, new challenges

We've started looking at house designs for the new block. Taking sun aspects, established trees, council setbacks and our budget into account - this isn't an easy task. The easy part is that my husband and I are fairly agreeable when it comes to designs / layout / building materials. It's just a shame that the more environmentally sound you try to be when designing a house, the more expensive it becomes...crazy!

We've considered standard show homes, kit homes, modular homes and now we're looking into a couple of builders (though I think this may be the most expensive option yet, once we incorporate architectural costs, etc). Keep you posted.

The new year has brought new buyers to the real estate market. We've had 4 viewings booked and over 200 hits on the real estate website in the last 3 days. The couples we've had through have made offers on other houses and seem to be serious. Fingers crossed.
