From Grand Designs to off-the-grid...

[Homed header] Hi {NAME}, My mum loves houses, and can’t drive past a house-for-sale without at least [having a good look](. We always joke that, if she’s late to an event, it’s probably that she’s stopped at an open home she happened to pass on the way, and is right now inspecting the water pressure and checking for orientation to the sun. That interest in houses and the property market was inevitably passed down to me, so how lucky is it that I work for this section of Stuff where we regularly showcase all kinds of homes. I love a [well-thought-out tiny home]( a [much-loved heritage home]( an [off-the-grid luxury home]( and anything [by the beach](. With the market being out of reach for so many people now, I also enjoy seeing each week what writer Kylie Klein Nixon comes up with as [an option for first-time buyers](. Happy house-hunting, even if you’re “just browsing”. [Kylie Klein-Nixon] Joanna Davis   Enjoying this email?
