Ok, true. :) Didn't realise that. Of course, if we were able to spend some money on putting new curtains or blinds in, that'd make the overall look more attractive, but we cannot realistically afford to do this. I still don't think curtains are the reason (or a significant one) that we...

I don’t really think those comments are very helpful to my situation, Melbournian. The curtains are a teal blue and they are standard to every single apartment of this same style and design in many areas of the Gold Coast. They do not look bad, in my opinion. Also, the reason they are pulled...

Yeah, you're right - it's not stressful to put an air bed away. I should've said it's inconvenient to do that (somewhat, not much), but the stressful part is actually having to have the inspections while my partner's mother is here. It is highly stressful having her stay. She stays for 2 weeks...

Nope. No offers. No one came to the open homes we had last weekend (the weekend after the auction). There's been yet more views on realestate.com (over 1200 now), but they're still not translating to actual inspections. We have it priced at offers over $300,000. All comparable properties...

Our agent had arranged for an interested buyer to come and inspect our property (private inspection) tonight at 6pm. This was arranged yesterday at 5.30pm. At about 11am today, our agent told us the buyer had cancelled the inspection as he had bought elsewhere. He was apparently interested...

Hiya :) Nah, didn't sell at auction. We didn't expect it to. No bids. No one registered. Quite a lot of interest at the auction and 4 new groups came to inspect it before the auction... We have someone apparently very interested coming tomorrow to inspect...there's the standard open...

Nah, it's certainly no dump. It's a really nice place - it's just not for me. Anyway, the auction is now being pushed back 2 weeks. Not enough interest. Hardly ANY interest actually. We're a bit crestfallen, but I guess this is the market... The very first day it appeared on...

Cool, more feedback. Thanks everyone! :) Let's see.... - Personal pics. Yes, those pics of our cats on the buffet. You know what? I COMPLETELY overlooked them when de-cluttering. Didn't realise until we saw the big billboard out the front of our place yesterday, with that picture as the...

This is a very strange post-conversation. lol No, $300 a week is too low. Market rental value for this type of property in this area is between $330-$370 a week. We cannot afford to rent it out anyway, as we need somewhere to live and wherever we would move to, the rent there would surely...

Thanks again, Marg. I've made some slight tweaks to the ad which I'll email to our agent tomorrow morning, and included in that is being more clear that there is a second double bedroom that can be used as an office, and also that there are 2 balconies, back and front. Also, yeah, the...

YES. You know what? We live on Chevron Island, which technically is in Surfers Paradise, but it's a 10 minute walk over the bridge to Chevron, which has its own local shopping and cafe strip, and its own search area / suburb on realestate.com.au. Our agent thought it was a good idea to list...

Thanks so much! :)

Thank you. Personal photos? We don't have any actual personal photos on the walls. Just framed prints and pictures...did you mean personal as in of us or our family or something? (did you mean the pic of the woman with the boobs by any chance? lol)

Wow! :) Thanks for that assessment...very interesting. Something else to definitely think about. We thought pet friendly was a plus because SO many people who live where we do (in the area, not just our building) have pets, and we have also been to several inspections of similar places in the...

Good, that's what I'd hoped someone would say! :) Did you have a look at it? If you were looking for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment like this would you come to see it? Update - we had the first open house today at 10.30am. We were hiding out downstairs in the car space / storage shed...

Yeah...I know it's not a minimalist place. It could never be unless we moved out and put in some rented furniture. We still have to live. Although yes, I agree that TV wall is the most cluttered area of the apartment now. I want a lovely white built-in style unit for all of our TV related...

Thanks Marg! :) Yeah, the 3 pics of the balcony are 2 of the very large front balcony as it looks quite different from both angles, and 1 of the back balcony, so people (hopefully) know there are 2 separate balconies they can "live" on, entertain, etc. I get the bathroom thing. They did...

Oh, of COURSE!! We had to buy little bits of cotton thread to hold the curtains back, as it looks much better than having them hanging loose like they naturally do. We want as much light and air and bright and space as possible!!

What? The paint job on the walls or a specific picture hanging on the wall? lol

How strange and exciting to see my own home listed for sale online. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-qld-surfers+paradise-109437766 And yes, yes, we are still going with the original auction idea. We're ok with that now. Feedback on the ad and pics please!! We have spent...
