Browse Forums Building A New House Re: How big is your house? 8Apr 08, 2011 6:47 pm ![]() I am a believer of build what you need now and in the future. But only if you can (a) financially afford it & (b) if you don't sacrifice something else. Ie had our land been a normal average size block then I would never build something so large as I believe you need yard for children to run around on. We also lucky in finding a builder who quoted a brilliant price. Unfortunately for them it was underquoted and they subsequently went bankrupt. I don't see the need to build a 50sq home for 2 people - but for a family of 5 with an eye to housing elderly parents in the not too distant future it made sense for us. Each to their own. OK thanks, good points ![]() Basically we are on the average financial side, so i dont know if it is proper to sacrifice some spaces that would be used in the future and make our lifes more comfortable; in order to save cash now.
