One of the trends in Sydney real estate sales is the use of lifestyle models to promote a property. It's probably a side-effect of prices getting out of control, and agents feeling the need to up the ante to justify their commission.

This house in Rozelle is a relative bargain at $1 million. However, the models look more like something out of The Shining, rather than selling a desirable lifestyle!

Nope, not creepy at all.

At least they can be bothered to photograph the inside of the house!  This pretty well sums up the real estate market in my area:

No interior photos, every window boarded up, needs a total remodel and renovation, "only" $695k!

@Clint_D is that the one that had the sign that said “No Realtors” back this fall?  Lol [emoji23]

But you can "Build a 2nd Home in back, sell it and get back the money spent to remodel the front home."

Seems like sketchy math and logic to me, but then I'm not a real estate agent, so what do I know?

[Clint_D]

@Appfaff Ha, no, that was another house in equally rough shape that was even more expensive.

@Chris That's a good selling point to tell clients that have never experienced the level of hell where the CoA permitting and review department resides.

OK, Adam @Appfaff , I'll post my kitchen photos here that I mentioned to you earlier. All appliances Jenn-Air, from 2011, so far no issues. Cook top has a griddle in the middle, and no down draft vent.

I should have also mentioned, builder built the cabinets, I was basically given a clean slate to do any thing I wanted in the kitchen, of course as long as I was willing to pay for it. It's my second favorite space in my house.

[Appfaff]

That’s an AWESOME set up!! Thank you for sharing!
