Finding that perfect house -Part Three

It’s been a long journey looking our next house, far longer than we expected.

After two years and visiting over fifty open homes, it was becoming a bit of a grind.

We carefully considered everything before we put any offer in, while other buyers seem to walk around with that starry eyed look, which can be a very expensive experience.

Then we found a house that was close to what we were after. With a lot of work, we could create that perfect house we were looking for.

We put an offer in, bearing in mind what we needed to spend on it, not expecting it to be accepted..

But then our offer was accepted !

That set up a bit of a conundrum because we weren’t expecting that to happen.

It meant we were now committed to packing up, moving, and unpacking, in a months time.

I won’t go into all the details, but you can probably imagine how busy we have been.

Lizz Gunn is found guilty of assault?

In a classic case of legal immorality, Lizz Gunn was found guilty of assault, after been accosted by a Police officer at Auckland Airport, which resulted in a Lizz getting a fractured wrist.

The court case was obviously manipulated to get a preset result

This was achieved in part by Police withholding camera footage of the assault. The assault occurred at Auckland International airport, which obviously has security camera’s EVERYWHERE.

For the history of this case a link is below..

When you are looking for that perfect house, you probably aren’t going to find it, so you end up trying to work out if  you can turn a place into what you are after.

This can lead you down a few time consuming rabbit holes

You can find that you have missed out on that house, while you have been getting quotes or doing research.

Or they are serious about that unrealistic price they want and wont budge.

It’s an emotional rollercoaster which doesn’t always end well.

But if you let emotion take over, you are going to end up paying too much. Even if you pay say $10,000 too much, it’s going to take you sometime to pay it off, so the stakes are high.

If you are comfortable with a little extra debt, thats fine, but given that morgage rates are north of 7% at the moment, it’s an extra burden you dont need.
