Whether you need an affordable backyard studio or cheap home office pod, we got you covered.
Option 1 – Upgrade to a New House
Step 1 - Sell existing too small house
Average 3-bedroom price $850,000 (median Canberra price)
Real Estate Fees:
- Marketing – $4,000 paid by vendor
- Real estate fees – 2% sale fee – $17,000
Give up your next 6 weekends – first 2 weeks getting home ready for photos; next 4 getting home looking like showhome.
Step 2 - Buy new larger house
Four-bedroom en suite home in same area ($1,050,000)
Move in with parents (with 2 kids)
Spend next month looking for new home, find one you like, get beaten at auction (it went for $1,125,000. Happens twice, start looking at broader area.
Finally purchase at $1,085,000 (fourth bedroom is more of a study, but it has an en suite.)
Changeover cost – purchase vs sale $235,000
- Real estate fees – $21,000
- Stamp duty – $42,952
- Solicitors fees – $1200
- Removalists – $1600
TOTAL – $301,752
On top of staying with in-laws!
NO DOLLAR VALUE CAN BE PUT ON THE PAIN, LOST TIME, STRESS OF BEING BEATEN AT AUCTION.
