Deciding where to live definitely took us a long time to figure out. We had first made the decision to buy and renovate an old Queenslander home or unit within a 5-6km radius of the CBD. After moving up from Gold Coast and living close to the City with City views we decided that we wanted a similar location and setting for ourselves and starting searching for properties with these qualities. We thought we could use the Brisbane
property as a stepping stone to get us on our way to the A few factors that we were looking for:
§ Proximity to the beach
§ Proximity to the highway to get to the airport
§ Proximity to shops and cafés
§ As much privacy as we could get in a residential setting
Alex and I jumped in the car and drove to the Sunshine Coast and started to check out areas that we liked around Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headland – I’m not sure how we ended up north of the Maroochy River but as soon as we drove into the Estate we instantly liked what we saw and proceeded to drive around and check it out. Next thing you know we were talking to the Sales rep and he was chauffeuring us around to all of the vacant blocks. It was almost dusk at the time; we used the rep’s iPhone to light up the paper work with the vacant land details on it!
We were dreamin and schemin about the block the whole way home and decided that we didn’t want to pay more than a particular amount for the block (which was a lot less than its advertised price) so we’d make a cheeky offer and if they accepted it, we’d go for it but if not than we would keep dreamin and search for something else!
To say the least we were blown away when they accepted our offer, and now we are building our first home. We couldn’t be more excited!
