My 2 cents is more space doesn’t go out of style and there’s been a move towards more compartmentalised spaces.

So having a dedicated office is one and another guest/recreation room. We’re lucky in Malaysia to have the option of space and 3 bed units are common. Of course location trumps all but have a think about your lifestyle routines.

You need the space of 2 rooms to realistically house yourself and a partner. The master bedrooms nowadays are ridiculously small and the wardrobe space is barely enough for 1 let alone 2 ppl. I know fashionista sorts that just use all bedrooms for storage.

Just to note a design trend shift, with 800+ sqft would you rather 2 decent sized rooms or 3 smaller ones ala runahwip.

There’s been a movement to make your sleeping quarters smaller but you have a bonus seperate area. It’s going back to the original intent of the bedroom which is just to sleep and not be a catch all for everything.

I’m not against the idea as working in your bedroom or looking at messy wardrobes is not exactly restful. A room with a door you can close to your messy office/ wardrobe might fit the bill for today’s living.

Wish I could downvote this, this is terrible advice considering the current economic climate. It’s not all fine and dandy compared to 10 heck 5 years ago. People need to look at what is happening now and not years ago. Fundamentals have changed profoundly.

Buy something that is affordable and acceptable to you because you will not be able to cash out of it in a hurry. My main advice is to make sure it’s somewhat investment grade ie. ppl will rent it or buy of you when there’s a change of plan.

People who make sweeping statements without backing it up should just keep numb.
