Home Extensions Improving Lifestyles of Many Perth Homeowners

Announcement posted by Next Level Extensions 15 Sep 2014

Provider of home extensions in Perth reveals why so many families are opting to expand their current homes instead of buying a larger one.
Perth, WA, 15 September 2014 - Due to record high housing prices, home extensions are becoming a very popular item in the Perth housing market. The median price for a home in Perth is currently $565,000. Many families that find they have outgrown their homes don’t want to spend the time or money to sell their old home, buy a new one and move.

This situation has made home extensions a convenient and economical option for many families looking for more living space. Here are some typical reasons why homeowners opt to expand their homes.

Larger Family

When a couple buys its first home, they often don’t expect their family to grow as large as it ultimately does. Many couples plan to have no children or only one, but end up with two or more. If they bought a two-bedroom home when they first got married, thinking it would be large enough for their needs, they find themselves needing more space.

Many families opt to build a second storey addition with extra bedrooms and bathrooms. This provides enough bedrooms for children and gives parents some peace. Sometimes, the family decides to renovate the downstairs with an open floor plan or an extra family room while putting the master bedroom upstairs with the rest of the family.

Both of these solutions provide enough extra space for a family to grow and thrive.

More Entertainment Space

One of the more popular options is to expand the first floor to include a family room that transitions into an alfresco living area. This is for families that like to entertain guests often or find that their home has become a hub of their social group. Adding a party area that seamlessly integrates the outdoors into the home can create a lot more living space while making the living area look even larger than it is.

Home Office or Hobby Rooms

Another use for ground floor house extensions is adding a home office and/or one or more hobby rooms. More and more Australians are working at home and the trend doesn’t look like it will stop anytime soon. The home office is becoming a popular addition to Perth homes.

Hobby rooms are also popular, especially as baby boomers become empty nesters and reconnect with hobbies and pastimes of their youth. For example, a rekindled interest in art or music is well-served and nurtured by adding an extra room to the house. A husband and wife with different hobbies can add two hobby rooms to their home and have space left over for a family room.

Craig Johns, Director of Next Level Extensions, a home extension builder from Perth, has helped numerous families achieve better lifestyles without moving from their current homes:

“For someone who doesn’t want the monumental expense or hassle of selling, buying and moving, home extensions are a lifesaver.”
