The Financial Year in Review: The Humble Journey of a Property Psychologist

When I think about property psychology, I can't help but reflect on the emotional tug-of-war that the concept of "home" has taken my family through. It began with the starry-eyed excitement of my first residential purchase, where my mum wisely flagged a leak on the prized one-acre-plus rooftop with all the bells and whistles. I giddily laughed it off, only to get slapped with a $60,000 Special Levy for that very leak years later. If only I'd taken off my romance goggles and listened!

Rookie Error #1: Ignoring Mum's advice about the leaky rooftop.

Decades later, the same property-driven sentiments run strong in our family. My mum sold the hinterland home, moved interstate, and then...drumroll please...repurchased it at a premium a few months later.

Property makes us do crazy things, right?

Ever since, we've laughed, cried, and, cough-cough, questioned our decisions! Despite the setbacks and bad luck, these experiences have strengthened our family bond. Like most people, we share a deep connection to our living spaces.

The Holy Grail of Home

But honestly, who am I to complain? What about those who've lost their homes to fires, floods, financial disaster, death, divorce, or debilitating illness? It's inconceivable to imagine their vulnerability when stripped of the house—life's most basic necessity—and their most precious belongings that tell their life story and show who they are and where they've been. Typically, it's only in incredibly tough or stressful times that we understand the true importance of the holy grail of the home, reflecting our alter egos and holding indelible memories with incredible personal meaning.
