Geraldton Real Estate Team Reveals the Newest Trends in Home Owners on the Move
Announcement posted by Geraldton Heights Estate 01 May 2014
Real estate firm in Geraldton provides information and statistics about the desire and frequency of many moving homes.
Geraldton, Australia, 1 May 2014 - A person who owns a house now probably owned another house before, possibly many times. This seems to be the current trend permeating the culture of those who own homes. Called the new age of home owning, current research is showing what people perhaps have known all along: Australians on average enjoy moving from place to place and owning new and different homes.
In a recent series of surveys by the Newspoll Market & Social Research company, almost 36 per cent of people who own houses don’t plan on staying in their current house and want to move at some point in the near future. On the other end of the spectrum, 16 per cent are committed to where they live and everyone else falls in the in-between category.
Across demographic boundaries, men seem to move less than women and large families move least of all, probably because of complications with children and schooling. By contrast, young people, those under the age of 35, change homes the most and, of all the states in the country, Western Australians move around the most with only a minor 4 per cent completely satisfied with staying in their current home.
With these trends dominating the home and real estate market, one tends to wonder why people move and some of the logistics concerning frequent moving. To shed some light on this, Madeleine McErlain, the Marketing Manager of 4Land Property Group which provides quality real estate to Geraldton and surrounding areas, provides her input.
“Perhaps you know someone or you yourself have changed homes numerous times, but the most recent research is showing us that this seems to be the most powerful trend in the real estate market. People are moving more frequently than they ever have and changing houses in the process.”
She goes on to elaborate on the changing housing trends.
“Surveys show that 34 per cent of people have lived in 10 or more houses over the course of their adult lives, with the majority of all people living in more than 4. This is a staggering statistic when you consider how much goes into moving in terms of time and cost. This doesn’t seem to deter people however and the buying and selling of homes is higher than it has been in a long time.”
Ms McErlain then offers some explanations as to why people move so frequently.
“Young people especially tend to move more in part because they are exploring the world and trying out different places and ways of life. When a person is first looking to settle, they often try out different areas, such as rural and urban settings, to determine which kind is best for them. This is the ultimate goal of frequent moving: to determine which lifestyle best suits you and build a life around that.”
Ms McErlain concludes by stating her company’s role in helping people find their ideal lifestyle.
“The 4Land Property team aims to provide real estate that will suit your new lifestyle perfectly, in current hot spots like the city of Geraldton. This city in particular offers a unique balance of rural and urban and with the beautiful ocean nearby, is a good fit for many people.”
