Hey, I'd pay $1.2m for a stunning view of a leccy pole too!

Remember Sydney's version of Doubleview is affectionately known as Doublepay - maybe Perth is trying to follow suit?

Can just imagine the estate agent blurb:

"stunning, panaromic coastal views that will never be built out, inspect today, don't delay, you don't get such fantastic coastal views at this price in todays market"

(can you tell i've been looking at realestate.com too much)

I don't know what frustrates me more - that I didn't buy in 2005, that agents can tout this bullsh!t or that buyers lap it up...

I'm not sure that even a dream I once had as a 14 year old about a very nice 20 year old friend of my sister was ever worth 1.2 milion...

When your 54 and still fantasising about 20 yr olds, 1.2 million will seem peanuts

OMG, just looked at the link...



I'm shocked. That's an obscene price for a place with what looks like an incredibly outdated kitchen and tiny plot of land.

That's why we're not going to Perth.

Not in Perth but isn't " Includes, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, undercroft granny flat / teenagers retreat" one of the best selling points of the house?

I didnt know powerlines and Telephone wires were so sought after.
I hope the estate agent who comes to value my house in Scotland bears this in mind.

Its got a great view over Ikea though - I'd buy it!

I can't believe the price they are asking for that, it only has 786 sqm or something and they are selling it as a puller downer - that is unbelievable!! Glad we moved to Adelaide now.

I don't know...Adelaide for one looks very reasonable compared to Perth, and Brisbane. I'm not saying that you don't get expensive areas but surely they are better value than the link that was provided?

I'm continually disappointed by what vendors expect over here.

It's distressing isn't it

Million dollar homes here now are pointless. Greed has over-come Perth.
