The Cost of Housing

By simruss

What is the real cost of owning a home?

Is it the cost of buying, paying the loan or running the house and maintaining it over the years.

The real concern i have is with the rising cost of utilities ie. electricity, water and gas all of which are set to rise a lot when carbon trading schemes take effect.

My goal to build a house that actually makes money for you when you are not home and to be self sufficient with no drain on the environment. Can it be done????
