#househunting - Jak na to + styl
Can’t wait to watch the rest of this series Ella!! Love it 😍
your video helped me so much while dealing with the emotional anxiety of house hunting. I know now, that it is normal to feel overwhelmed and I am not the only one who gets a little emotional. Thank you!
If Luna is a stray please take her with you when you move house, I feel like she will miss you guys so much😭💔
omg we probably will!! our first pet
I can’t wait to keep watching this series (being someone that’s currently building in Adl) here’s hoping your dream home comes up soon!! Lots of luck xx
thank you so much!! best of luck with the build 😍 how exciting xx
I love this video. As someone who will want to buy a house in the next 10 years it’s really good to see the whole process and how the house buying process goes. I will say that although my parents have bought the house we live in I wasn’t part of the process because I was only 7 at the time. I love how transparent you are as well by telling us how much each house costs. Although house prices in Adelaide are different compared to the house prices in Sydney it’s still very interesting to learn about the house buying process. I’m so excited for this CZcams series. Thank you so much for making this video. Hopefully you are having a good week.
This makes me realise how expensive Sydney housing prices are omg 700k would get a 1 bedroom apartment in a good suburb haha maybe I should move to Adelaide! 😅
Loving this new series! So excited to come along the house journey with you! Xx
I love this series so much already! Definitely going to need your tips and tricks as a first home buyer hopefully in a few years 💕
Love this series Ella! I love how open, honest and real you are. Very exciting times for you guys🥰
aw thank you Brook! i'm so excited 🥰
Love this series already!!! So awesome that you're being so open and transparent about this - especially the $$ side of things!! Super helpful for people like myself wanting to buy in the next couple of years! Can't wait for the next ep!! xx
Did you buy ???
Such a great video Ella! Really enjoyed it 😍 I recently bought a home and I think the series that you are doing will be really helpful for a lot of people! All the best with the house hunting and enjoy the journey xx
I freaking love love love this video!!!! Omg I can’t wait for more ❤️
So so excited for this series!!
Love this, I've only started learning about home loans, deposits and guarantors, and all the other schemes like FHOG etc. So it's super interesting to see your house buying journey!
Good luck on the house hunt! I can't believe how reasonably priced houses are in Adelaide. In my area (about 45-60 minutes outside of the Sydney CBD) there are virtually no houses available under $1mil. It's so eye-opening to see the huge price variation between cities.
Eeep!! This is so exciting! I can't wait to follow along with your journey :D
I tried buying a house at the end of 2019 start of 2020, and oh boy was it an eye opener on the market here currently! I wish you all the best, and yes unfortunately you're gonna get those types of real estate agents but just keep pushing and hopefully something will happen for you in the next year!
Okay house number 2 is stunning!!! 😍 so excited for you guys!!!
I know 😍😩 thanks lovely!
Oh my gosh a dishwasher is a MUST! All my years of renting I never had one until this year and cannot go back 🤩 But yesss this whole journey is so so exciting! Cannot wait to see where it goes! Xx
so jealous 😩 one day soon!! I'll send you so many snapchat's when we do our first load hahaha xx
Can you please talk about the process of putting in an offer/how you did it? Love this series and very useful for others looking at doing similar things!
I CLICKED SO FASSSSST!!! We love a smileycitrus upload🤩
thank you!! ❤️
Love your first home buying vid ella! My partner and I have gone through a similar experience. Here in Melbourne the housing market is absolutely bananas. For $700k budget, we could only afford a 2 bedroom unit (with body corporate / strata fees) so we opted to build about 30 mins away from our location of choice. We just secured a 400m2 lot of land and are super excited to decide on a floorplan and builder, and build our home from the ground up!
Dayum that’s crazy I live 2 hours away from Brisbane and we have a 5 year old house on 805m2 block which cost us $255,000 3bd 1bth
exciting times ahead. good luck xx
I always wanted to build a place when i move to another state. I like the two floors but would love a wrap around screened in porch on second floor. Def needs a dishwasher and laundry room. And walk in closets would be great. I look forward to your new adventures in house hunting.
Thank you for starting this series. This is going to me in a couple of years (but in Victoria). I will definitely look into talking to a broker in the next year so I’m prepared for what is ahead.
Loved this!
Wow so many nice modern properties! We're hopefully looking to buy next year (UK) but everything is either falling apart or a badly built new build 😬 so excited for you guys and the videos 🥰
thanks lovely! 🥰
Such a good series to film!! Can't even dream of buying my own house here in Auckland NZ, every house here is 1M+
Also the triangle house gave me a motion sickness just looking at it in camera 😂😂 glad that was a no from both of you haha
Oooh house hunting is my fav content to watch on CZcams! 😬 Gosh. Don’t know a lot about Adelaide (only that it has lots of churches ⛪️…does it?? 🤔🤔) didn’t realise how expensive and competitive the market is! Why do they advertise that price when the offers are nowhere near that price?? That doesn’t make sense to me unless that’s just a normal thing! 🤷♀️ definitely loved House #2 as well but obviously not meant to be!! Cracked up at your comment about hand washing dishes cos I live in a kinda outdated unit with no dishwasher and my reward tonight for doing the dishes was that I got to watch your video afterwards 😂😂😉😬 looking forward to watching more of this series and seeing what you end up with! 😬
With the pricing, it’s not that the listing agent is being purposefully misleading, the house will legitimately be valued at x amount, but the sheet competition for housing at the moment is driving costs up so much so houses are selling way over what they’re necessarily valued at
I bought this time last year and I cannot believe how much prices have gone up in one year, it's madness!!! Cannot wait to see where you guys end up though 😍
it's insane! thank you lovely 🥰
YES YES YES YES YES
I never thought that i could be triggered by Triangles until now! 🤣 ... They were all stunning homes though. 💖
Number 2 woooowww !
she was so cute 😩
Wow so affordable in Adelaide! Even a townhouse/villa in Sydney is more than a mil, a house is close to or over 2 mil even in an average location.
Congrats! Im in NZ and the median house price is 1mil, and the “affordable” homes (1 bedroom) are upwards from about 850! when you said 700k for the second house omg that would be a steal for us!!! All the best!
Yes that's in the cities, best (if your willing and able) to move to a town, much more affordable and no traffic! Depends what lifestyle you want I guess. I bought a house in a small town when I was 22. 16years later i sold up and moved to another town where the houses are even cheaper I'm now mortgage free. Sometimes it takes some sacrifices to be able to live your dream and to not want the high life by wanting a fancy house right away, got to start on the bottom of the ladder..
HAHAHAHAHA Ella that triangular house made me die from laughing oh my god 😂
I got nauseous just editing the clips of it 😮💨😂
Hey !! This is a really informative video. Can you provide more details like what additional costs one can expect apart from 600k , and what can be the final price before moving in?
Hi! I talked in more detail in ep. 3 ☺️
Third home looks like a house I built on sims when I was 11
I’m confused about the guarantor, do they pay the LMI? Because in Melbourne they just put their name down on the contract and if you for what ever reason can’t pay your mortgage they have their assets (house etc.) as casualty and they pretty much put their house on the line if you go bankrupt
no, you're right! they just use the equity from the guarantors assets as collateral to boost your deposit to 20% so you can avoid paying LMI. I just mentioned LMI because that's the main reason why we're using a guarantor ☺️
@@smileycitrus ohhhh thank you for clarifying that! I actually had no idea that’s how it worked 😱
Build!!!!
wow, Adelaide is am inexpensive place to buy a house. But surprised that RE agents allow prospects to view homes in their shoes!
Hi elaaaa... i love ur videossss ❤ btw in a month i will move to adelaide. Do you know the rate to rent a house in adelaide? Near to adelaide univ.
Hi! thank you 🥰 i'm not sure how much it would be to rent (it really depends on what you're after and what area you want to live in) but i'd recommend searching on realestate.com
Best of luck with the move!
Hello🌸
I’m encouraging all my friends and family to not buy right now. 10 years in property and these prices are crazy but a common cycle. We saw the same thing in 2011 after the recovery of the 2009 GFC. People have money to burn because they can’t travel right now and are paying stupid money. Australia will go back to normal in another 12-18 months and prices will settle down.
Please show house in cambra 3 bed room two bath room
Beautiful content ! Keep up the good vibe ❄
