Very first Dwelling

The first dwelling I ordered was a double storey, two-bedroom, two-toilet

apartment in Subiaco in Perth.

I purchased it at the conclusion of 2007 in the substantial $600,000s. I broke even on the sale just after the 2012 Olympics when I moved to the US.

It was a lesson to me in the apartment re-sale sector staying more prone to marketplace situations.

An equivalent household on land would have appreciated in the identical time period of time.

Steve Hooker OAM is now Chief Govt at Resimax Team.

Present-day Dwelling

My spouse, Katya, and I acquired our present-day property in Hampton in 2016. We did a entire gut and refit renovation of the home in 2018. Katya intended the floorplan and interiors whilst I venture managed the occupation and my brother Tom, who’s a chippy, ran the web-site.

We love how it has turned out. My favorite aspect of the home is the gymnasium and sauna that has bi-fold doorways which open up up to the backyard.

Dream Household

We have been spending a lot of time down the Surf Coastline above the past pair of yrs the ocean and the Otways Countrywide Park is just this kind of a magical blend.

We appreciate how the setting in that aspect of the planet variations via the 4 seasons.

So I like the concept of creating a cosy off-the-grid household someplace along the Good Ocean Road that connects with the purely natural elements.
