Building vs. Buying Established

Is building better? The choice. Building gets you exactly what you want. Pick the colours. Duty is only on land. You get the grants if eligible. It is fun. However, it is slow. Long delays. Renting while building is expensive. Variations. Fences aren't included. It costs more than the brochure.

Buying established is immediate. You see what you get. Landscaping exists. Curtains are there. Settlement is 30 days fast. The catch is, it has wear. Fix things. Stamp duty is higher. You inherit someone else's choices. You might hate the bathroom.

It depends on you. Can you wait? Do you hate maintenance? Go to Springwood. Do you want big trees? Buy in Willaston. Both make money. We have both. That is the benefit.
