Maybe it\u2019s our obsession with the never-ending home renovation<\/a> shows, but Aussies are officially reno-OBSESSED.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Especially in sunny Queensland (perhaps it\u2019s the sun inspiring all that get-up-and-go!) home owners are spending big on improving their properties, with statewide costs of home renovations and extension adding up to a whopping $1.35 billion\u00a0in the past year.<\/p>\n

Australia wide, in the March quarter alone, we spent $2.1 billion on alterations and additions to homes, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.<\/p>\n

Renovating has fast become an Aussie pastime \u2013 and obsession. Picture: Three Birds Renovations<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Clearly Australians love a good reno project. But whether it\u2019s for sale or personal reasons, the idea of parting with a big wad of cash for no immediate tangible benefit is, quite frankly, frightening.<\/p>\n
