Claire Hooper got into the property market at just 25 \u2014 but it wasn\u2019t finances that motivated her move.<\/p>\n

First home<\/b><\/p>\n

I bought my first home in Perth at 25 years old, motivated by the fact that my 19-year-old<\/p>\n

brother had just bought his first place.<\/p>\n

I was a struggling theatre maker; I had to move friends in and ultimately move myself back with my parents to meet the payments on that ugly, little three-bedroom house, which eventually sold for enough to buy my first place in Melbourne. Comedy didn\u2019t buy my current home. Sibling rivalry did.<\/p>\n

Current home<\/b><\/p>\n

I certainly have an MO when it comes to property: \u2018ugly\u2019. We bought this bitzer of a place ten years ago for its potential and have so far allowed that potential to lay dormant. We love it though. It\u2019s plastic weatherboard, full of cracks and poorly laid out \u2013 yuck \u2013 but it\u2019s on nearly 600sq m in Brunswick \u2013 yum \u2013 so we haven\u2019t once regretted stretching to afford it. We have finally engaged an architect to open the back up to the big yard so expect your invite round to the BBQ in approximately 2024.<\/p>\n

Dream home<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the top conversation topic when I walk the dog with my husband. We imagine a home with access to parkland and close to the Merri Creek, but elevated enough not to be affected badly by rising sea levels. We also want a bunker full of tinned food, zombie proof windows, and a hidden stairway up to a roof garden and sentry point. It is possible we watch too many apocalypse movies.<\/p>\n
