“If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing”….not only do I love this line, I dare say that I treat the word ‘wings’ much more than metaphorically. For me, our goals are what tie us to the salivating proposition called ‘peace’ and how we achieve them has a lot to do with who we are. Having given my life to the world of properties, most of my big, small, and medium goals have been related to the property world.

January Figures Displayed By the Property Market May be Deceptive
In an article for the website realestate.com.au, Paul Thornhill talks about a great start to the property market in 2014 but also asks us to be wary of the figures, for they may flatter to deceive. Thornhill gives a few reasons why the summer figures are too good to be true.
Rampantly Circulating Old Key a Security Threat
It’s a deplorable mistake to make and yet we keep making it all the same. Hint- it is related to your home security. Yes, you guessed it right (perhaps). I am talking about not going to a locksmith for re-keying your property. Do you ask me why?
Efforts To Make While House Hunting With Your Partner
The person you love may love you just as deeply or more but this does not imply that your priorities and values will be same. After all, you both are two different individuals shaped by different life experiences. We are so obsessed with the thought of home ownership that so often we are in no mood to relent- we do not want to accommodate for anything that’s not at the top of our wish list. This attitude has to be shaken off when you are house hunting with your spouse or sweetheart.
Notice Periods Landlords and Tenants Should Be Aware of
Investors become wary when rental growth of their neighbourhood begins to doze off or when rental yields for their city/state begin to suffer in general. However, such things may at large be beyond their control. What is certainly within their direct control is that their tenants do not rob them off or even behave in a frivolous manner. There are certain set of rules each investor (also likely to be a landlord) must observe.
Modernist Designs Get Their Due
Modernist symbols like glass and steel can be procured cheaply by manufacturers and the fact that they lend to the needs of uncluttered spaces and purposeful designing makes modernism a much liked concept today. In an article for the website realestate.com.au, Holly Jones talks about how we have come to prefer clean and purposeful furniture placement, easy-on-the-eye illusion of space, and uncluttered look in our homes. All of these add to the level of sophistication.
The modernist idea also borrows heavily from the minimalist look- where anything not completely required is left out. Jones is right in her evaluation that this trend may be a direct result of the success of open plan living.
