As I was waiting in the car for Padma to come back with her shopping, I was checking the news on my smartphone. I swiped straight past Albo making a foool of himself at the United Nations and Putin sending MiG fighter planes into European airspace, and got to what makes every Australian's heart beat faster. No, not football, the other one: real estate.
And there it was, a home at Findon in South Australia, littered with piles of rubbish and clutter inside, which had been auctioned off for $290,000 above its reserve price, at $1,339,000. "The home is being sold as-is and requires significant decluttering and renovation", the listing warned, and "All contents will remain and form part of the sale" - click here.
I've been trying to sell "Riverbend" for some time now, and with October approaching, I had already decided to leave all the cobwebs and dust "as-is" to become Halloween decorations, but this sale inspired me to leave them indefinitely and simply add to my sales advertisement - see here - "all cobwebs and dust will remain and form part of the sale".
There's hope for "Riverbend" yet!
