Dream home plans can often times be turned into a reality
Buying a home here in Australia, for the most part is something that has been engrained into our psyche. Home ownership in Australia is a right we all believe we have, and owning our “little plot” in this country gives us a sense of security other purchases don’t seem to match.
However, with land prices constantly increasing it is becoming more and more unaffordable for many to get into their first home, and they are faced with the hard choice of renting or moving further away from the CBD than they first intended.
There’s strong debate these days for the case of renting and using the money normally invested in the purchase of a property, into a strong investment portfolio, which may achieve stronger returns.
We’ve been brought up with the adage of rent is “wasted money”, but on further reflection this may not be the case as reported in an online article with sbs news.
Buying a house isn’t just about making a profit though―if it were, it would be easy to just look at a bunch of figures and make a decision. Home ownership is about having the right to paint a wall a certain color, hang a picture on a wall without obtaining permission and make the place we live, into a home where we feel we belong and it reflects our individualism and we can build memories.
Buying and selling the homes we live in is a very personal thing for many of us.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
