First home buyers came to us wanting a 2/3 bedroom home up to $780,000. They were very open on location. However, after viewing a number of houses in diverse locations, they came to realise Mayfield was their preference. We saw everything on and off the market in the area and decided upon this perfect first home – with some breathing space within their budget.
