When is the right time to buy, that’s a good question. But can I just throw another question thats been boiling my potatoes for a while now…

What’s better? to build or buy an established home??

I’ve spoken to so many people and everyone seems to be biased to what they’ve done. If they’ve built, they say “build build build!” but if they’ve purchased an established house they say thats the best way to go.

Does anyone have an unbiased opinion for me? and any good reasons to back up their suggestion? Thanks.

I’m 25 this year still living at home. I remember when I was 18 and I had so much money in the bank I didn’t know what to do with it and my older sister said “why don’t you buy some land?”, being 18, I thought “Land? pfft! what do i need land for?” so i bought a car. And am i kicking myself now! Land used to be $60,000 in the area taht i was looking at now i’ve checked its $135,000+.

Can anyone provide any suggestions for me as to whether its better to build or buy an established house? Or perhaps a time machine so I can go back to when I was 18 and buy as much land as I could possibly afford!
