The Thing Is...

People want to work from different locations. They like the climate, their partners need to study, they have a long distance relationship that they'd like to make short distance, or they just want to try living abroad.

In my case it's a bit of a few things:

• Winters suck.
• We've always said we should try living in a 3rd country for a bit - one that is neither Iceland not UK.
• I'd love to have more daytime hours available with my kid, and either work early or late, whilst still getting the benefits of working alongside others.

Stupid idea probably, but here it is:

Housing in Iceland

The housing market is something of a stable investment. Typically. People need somewhere to live. Population growth happens. Houses get more expensive.

In Iceland (in the capital region), the average sale price of a property in 2001 was 12mkr in 2001[0]. In 2015 the average was 37mkr. For first time buyers entering the market they now need an average 7mkr deposit in order to secure a 80:20 mortgage. A rather daunting feat compared with the 2.4mkr required in 2001.

(As a comparison, inflation (which wages at best track) would value that 12mkr property as 23mkr by 2015 - and that's with the 18% average of 2008 following the crash)
