Don't ya hate it when you're browsing Trademe dreaming about buying a house, something you have to wait at least another year to do, and you find the
perfect first house - it's nothing big or flash, not the ultimate dream home, but it's the perfect one to start with. It's the right size, in your dream location, it's fairly new, it's got a big section, it's surrounded by bush, and it's the right price. And the most torturous thing of all is that it's been on the market for months...
This house was listed in April and I put it on my Watchlist for fun, just to see how long it would take to sell, and so I could go back and look at it and dream some more when I pleased. The best thing about it is where it is - I've always dreamed of living in the Akatarawa Valley. It's one of those places that is close enough to the city so you don't feel isolated, but it's far enough away to make you feel like you live in the country.
