Metro area - Which type of property are you planning on living into in 10 years?

[Phiber]

Hi guys,

So here is another poll since it looks like it's the season

It would be great to hear some of the reasoning below! (downsizing, upsizing, moving closer to transports and restaurants, retreating further out etc.).

I have kept it to metro areas only to get more consistancy between participants.

Cheers all

That last option is tempting! I think sometime back someone did create a similar poll. A detached house which covers 25% or less of the land would be fine to us.

10 years is a long time. Probably wont be in my dream home. But will definatly be in a nice house with all the mod cons, here on the GC.

Move into a current IP 2 mins to beach.

In the same PPOR we have now.

I wouldn't say it's a dream home - but there's not much more I would want right now, especially in Canberra.

It's close to the city, has a decent size yard for the kids and is a 10 minute walk to the office.

Cheers

Jamie

Hope to move further out. Sydney's north west rail link will destroy the quality of living in the area so will be time go when it opens.

Such a cynic?

I'd like to be back near the coast in a nice family home and sell our current home to someone else for them to enjoy the great Australian dream of a big house on a big block in the burbs.

We will downsize to a smaller say 3 bed place, not too far from where we are now and will spend a great bit of our time at our 2 bed with nice huge deck Lake Macq home, 600 metres from the water on the Morisset peninsula.

Never

Just don't like crime, high density apartment blocks and traffic gridlock.

Quit stealing my thunder!

Probably up from current 1 bed into 2 bed apartment. Though I might stick with a 1 bed, with a more efficient floorplan and extra storage.

Our aim is something like this within 5-10 year time frame

Nice one.

Unless I have to (i.e. mainly due to kids schools), I won't change my current PPOR in the next 10 years.

Where to go?

Hiya

In 10 years time, i will still be living at my present house; either in the front house (big 5 bedder) or in the 1 bedder granny flat at the back ...all depends on how much the kids will need our help at that point in time

BTW, a wise man once told me that if at point of retirement, your house value is more than the rest of your financial assets, you will know you are having "too much house" ie you may need to rebalance your asset allocation...broadly speaking of course...

House on big block in inner city. How come that's not an option?

 

[Tillie]

Dream: Downsizing to an average size house with a big garage on an acre block in outer surbubs and split time bw. the house and a beach shack.

Exactly, that's why I voted Richard Feymann

So if people find something wrong with the poll, they decide it is because of Richard Feynman?

 

[Deltaberry]

Bring back Richard please!

In ten years' time I will not be living Metro.
