6 things you'll hear new homeowners say

Trust us, you’ll recognise these gems. You might have even said them yourself.

IT’S A MONUMENTAL event in anyone’s life – the first home that’s all your own.

But it often seems that buying a home consumes conversation for months. You’ll see your friend transform from the joker down the pub to property-obsessed new homeowner, right before your very eyes.

Here are a few things you’ll definitely hear them say.

1. “We’re staying in tonight, got so much to do in the house”

It’s taking over their lives.

2. “We’ve a big job to do on the garden…”

Not only will a new homeowner let you know ALL about their renovations plans, but look forward to hearing about their landscaping ideas. Even if they’re well aware you hate gardening.

3. “Of course, we had to do the whole kitchen from scratch”

Cue a fifteen minute pondering about the relative merits of different surface finishings. Argh.
