Two storey home designs are becoming much more popular throughout Perth, despite the downturn in the WA housing market. Generally our 2 storey home buyers are people who have already owned a home before and are upsizing to accommodate their growing families, however we are receiving more enquiries from first homebuyers looking to get into the housing market with a 2 storey house design for their very first home!

As blocks of land for sale in Perth are dramatically decreasing in size, it is inevitable that new homebuyers will be forced to purchase 2 storey home designs if they want to increase the floor space available in their homes and still be able to have a backyard. Alternatives to building upwards include building a larger single storey home and reducing the yard size or building a smaller single storey home and utilising the remaining yard space as outdoor living space.

The affordability of 2 storey house plans also seems to be improving and this could be yet another reason their popularity is growing. With fewer people opting to build a new home rather than purchasing established, new home builders are dropping their prices and introducing special offers to try and attract more clients. This is the best time to be shopping for a new home while the prices are low and the builders aren't that busy, it means you are more likely to get a great deal on your new home and you could also get your house built quicker due to the abundance of tradespeople available to work!

House and land packages are in hot demand (as are turn-key house packages), as homebuyers try to minimise the amount of work involved in sourcing the right land,finding the besttwo storey house plans to match their lifestyle and completing all the finishing touches that make your house a home.

Great Living Homes are specialist 2 storey home builders servicing the Perth metro area; we offer a range of designs in single and double storey including house and land packages and turn-key homes. We also build custom designs, unit developments and granny flats. In fact we are one of few residential builders in Australia offering 2 storey granny flats which are also suitable as small, affordable 2 storey homes for under $200,000. What is even better is that we will alter any of our designs to suit your personal requirements without charging you for the changes (up until the contract is signed); this is something most builders won't do!
