As the housing shortage, affordability pressures and rising living costs take hold, many young Australians are questioning how they will ever break into the property market.
According to Vito Russo, founder and CEO of VanHomes, Australia’s largest relocatable and expandable homes manufacturer, instant homes are the perfect solution for young adults wanting to buy a home and an ideal way for parents to help them.
“Relocatable and expandable homes are not just a cost-effective housing solution, they are incredibly easy to locate in a backyard, can be customised within minimal cost and can be moved anywhere,” Russo explained.
“Many empty nesters have homes with large, under-utilised backyards. Now, there’s an opportunity to make the most of this space by placing an instant home on the property, providing a living solution for their grown-up children.
“We are receiving numerous enquiries from people who want to help their children or families by placing a VanHome in their backyard for them to live in. It really is the perfect solution to Australia’s housing crisis.”
Relocatable and expandable homes can be ordered in a range of sizes, colours and finishes. Interiors can be customised to meet the design aesthetics of any palate. Finishes and fittings can be installed to meet any bank balance, from budget to high end. Gardens, verandahs and other features can be installed to enhance entries and areas around the home. The ability to create a magnificent home is limited only by one’s imagination.
Transportable and expanding homes on wheels that meet the motor transport act as registerable caravans are fast becoming a great housing alternative. Some forward-thinking councils are beginning to recognise the benefit of how this will help ease the growing housing crisis.
“A relocatable and expandable home is a great way to add space to a home in a way that enables people to have their own independence while being close to everyone. It can add value to a home and also add lifestyle benefits. It really is a win-win situation that helps everyone to benefit from the arrangement,” Russo said.
Russo emphasised that instant homes offer an affordable, practical and flexible way to break into the property market while staying close to home.
