Hunting
So we are geared up for another weekend of house hunting.
But this weekend is different.
We have figured out that the Inner West, while very 'cool', is over priced and way too competitive for us. My blood pressure can't take those auctions with all of the hipsters.
So we are taking a different approach. As much as I'd love to live close to the City, we are starting to look for houses our in an area called the 'Upper North Shore' (so the real estate people call it). For the same price as a unit or tiny semi* in the Inner West we can get a big-ass 3 bedroom house out in the Uppper North.
One of the places we like is in Wahroonga, not too far from the Rose Seidler House. My favourite house in Sydney. AND host to the annual 50's Fair. That could be convenient
We shall see how we go......

*a 'semi' is kind of like a row house in the US. But not quite as cool...ok, sometimes they are cool....

That's what we did! We looked in the city first. Then we looked just outside of the city. Finally we realized we could go a little more north of the city and get so much more for our money. Careful searching also allowed us to find a place where we can bypass a lot of traffic too.

And if I'm going to spend Sydney prices I want a house, not an apartment, ya know?
