more house rejections

February 9th, 2021 at 01:47 am

So it's only tuesday and we have already had 4 house rejections this week and have a couple more to look at this week...we are down to 10 days before we have to have to be out of here, so if we don't get a house it looks like we would have to put things into storage and see if we can get a furnished rental until we get a house...it is so frustrating...have written to our local councilwoman and asked them what is the govt going to do about the housing situation in SA...if they are going to allow all these people back into our country they have to make sure there is housing for them....buying a house is the same...they tack on $20,000 plus fees on top of the deposit which makes it hard for people to save to buy a house...it is so hard over here...sounds weird but I wish our rules were a bit more lax like the US has...would make life much easier for us!!

The weather here we had rain and wind for 4 days so basically all the yard work I had done now has to be redone and I don't really have the time or energy for that...packing and stresing about a house is doing a number on me and my illness....so hopefully it will settle soon and we can get settled and start my health journey again...but so far so good no hospital visits..fingers crossed it stays that way

    How much house are you looking at? What is your price point? Can you go lower so you can compete and have more deposit? That's what we did and what most people in bidding war areas do. Go lower and then end up burning the price because you want to get in.

    we are not ready to buy yet so are looking for another rental, we have thousands of people coming back to australia since covid started each week and they need places to live and so do the rest of us so rentals are hard to get....even paying $500 plus a week rent (for a 3-4 bedroom home) is just impossible to get...we have missed out on many houses and that is looking half hour or more each direction than we live now...and yes we are offering more rent then they are asking...buying would be easier but needing at least $35000 for a 3% deposit is hard to save while your paying rent...it can be hard here (we live in australia)
