        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!

                              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!

                                  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?

                                    @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.
