Well in Victoria there is at least some truth in that
Compact or cute - absolutely NO room to move
First home buyer or investor - Only tenants or first home buyers would consider living in this dive
Astute investor - naieve investor (easily flattered)
The options are endless - it needs to be fully replaced preferably bulldoz and rebuild units "stca" refer earlier post by Daz for more details on "stca"
First to see will buy - desperate seller
Realistic vendor - demoralised vendor, recently failed at auction
Vibrant colour scheme - colourblind vendor (wear sunglasses)
Speaking of this one - it's amazing some of the paint you see inside houses these days!! In the one house you'll see bright yellow, purple, green, red - all inside the one place! It's not a feature wall when every wall is painted a different weird colour people!

The owner of the house next to ours does this.
He had an IP that he was so proud of & he took me to look at it. Bright orange walls, aqua green, bright blue. Each & every room was a different colour. I really shouldn't have been surprised when I saw it, because the outside of the one next to us was painted dark green with dark blue & grey trim. He has now repainted it grey with a darker blue/grey & deep purple trim.Then there is a large, double storey house just off a main road, near us where the outside is lime green, almost fluro (similar to the kudos dots). They have even painted the fences (both sides, so I pity the neighbours) the same colour. It is really attrocious. I'm scared to imagine what the inside is like.
This may diverge a little off the track, but over the last 12 months the phrase 'mortgage stress" or "rental stress" or "housing stress" has risen to prominence.
Isn't that just doing the hard yards and making sacrifices like every generation before?
