Buyer's Decision Quadrant:

  • The Buyer's Decision Quadrant serves as a framework for asset selection when choosing an investment property.
  • It consists of four areas: price, location, land content, and dwelling quality.
  • Price is typically fixed as it depends on budget constraints.
  • Location plays a critical role in property value appreciation and often requires compromise if the desired location is not affordable.
  • Land content refers to how much land one can afford within their budget and desired location. It determines the type of dwelling that can be purchased.
  • Dwelling quality involves compromising between buying a ready-to-move-in property or an older property with renovation potential.

Compromise in Property Buying:

  • Buyers frequently need to compromise on one or more aspects of the Buyer's Decision Quadrant due to budget limitations or personal preferences.
  • Compromising on price may involve adjusting borrowing capacity or comfort levels.
  • Compromising on location could mean moving further away from desired areas but still finding growth opportunities in those locations.
  • Size of land content may require compromising on space or amenities depending on individual priorities and budget restrictions.
  • Quality of dwelling can vary based on personal preferences and willingness to invest time and money into renovations.
