I’m looking at buying a small, ex-housing commission house in a rough, but up-and-coming suburb, surrounded by quintessential middle-class suburbs. In these middle-class suburbs are all these gigantic double/triple garage 4-5 bedroom places (built 90’s/00’s) that must be going for the best part of a million, or over. Who is buying these places, or are the boomers that own them just sitting on them and staying in them when the kids move out? And who has the time to maintain such a massive place and perfect gardens? I feel I’m pretty well-off, but couldn’t even imagine having such a huge mortgage. Are these suburbs just full of tradies? So many questions.
