House or apartment: what is better?

House or apartment: what is better?

A residential issue has always been considered central to the life of any person. When choosing the improvement of living conditions, a dilemma arises for many residents of the city: what is better to buy a flat or a house? And if twenty years ago it was considered not prestigious to live in a private house, especially in a country house, today having your own mansion within the city boundaries, or behind it, provided with all the necessary communications that provide comfortable living, is considered a sign of high status and affluence.

Which is better: own house or flat ?, the question is not easy, because in both of these options. Housing has its advantages and disadvantages, which are worth considering in more detail.

Advantages of the apartment:

  • developed infrastructure: the presence of shops, schools, kindergartens;
  • transport accessibility: you can easily reach the desired part of the city
  • the presence of a furnished yard, playground;
  • maintenance of the territory and home utilities;
  • availability of communication networks;
  • heating system;
  • savings on utility bills (compared to home)
  • does not require capital expenditures for repairs and construction;
  • renting an apartment will not be a problem;
  • selling an apartment is also easy.

Disadvantages of the apartment:

  • neighbors: it can be very difficult to live peacefully with neighbors, because these or other actions are not always suitable for us and they. In addition, your neighbors can be people with alcohol dependence, mental disorders, or lovers of loud music or repair work;
  • noise from the street;
  • area and low ceiling;
  • lack of parking spaces;
  • gas contamination;
  • lack of own yard;
  • problems keeping pets.

The reasons why people choose an apartment or a private house for living can be different: fatigue from city hustle and bustle, a desire to provide more space for the development of children, or a desire to lead a more active social life. Some want to have and cultivate their own land area, while others do not like to work on the land, and they consider housing as a resting place after a hard day, not wanting to spend a lot of time on household chores and cares, which are much more in a private house than in an apartment.

Econosights — The turnaround in the Australian housing market and implications for macroprudential policy

Econosights - The turnaround in the Australian housing market and implications for macroprudential policy

A loosening in macroprudential policy in 2019 is one of the factors behind the turnaround in home prices.

We expect home price growth of 5% after the current bounce runs its course. But, the strong reacceleration in Sydney & Melbourne prices means upside risks.

Macroprudential policy could be used again if the housing upswing creates new financial stability risks. The biggest risk is extremely high Australian household debt. However, policies like debt-to-income or loan-to-value caps and lending limits would probably cause more distortions in the housing market.
