There are many reasons people invest in a new home. Young professionals decide it’s time to fly the family nest. Newly married couples believe now’s the time to build a home. Retired people are downscaling.

People purchase property for one of two reasons; buy-to-let, or buy-to-live. Either way, an apartment in a Balwin lifestyle estate is a great deal.

Last month we spoke about beating the early autumn blues and the temptation to vegetate. Well, we’ve now moved on into winter – nights are colder, days are shorter, and the temptation is bigger!

HOME IS WHERE YOUR MOM IS. It’s true; especially when the home is in a Balwin lifestyle estate! Mom’s unique touches invite additional beauty and welcoming warmth into your family apartment.

You’re young, you’re in love and, together, you want to buy your first home. Like all adventures, you’re stepping into exciting, uncharted territory. So prepare yourself!

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler and the temptation to vegetate in front of the TV with an after-dinner snack is getting bigger. In other words, summer’s a memory and autumn’s upon us. Time to hibernate?

So! You’ve done the math, the family nest is empty, and you’re ready to retire. But you’re young at heart. You don’t just want to retire from something; you want something to retire to!
