The same-size fridge these days uses less than 300 kWh per year
After - what? - thirty years or more, our trusty old fridge has become a rusty old fridge, but we've been holding off on buying a new one because we've always been thinking that one day soon a buyer for "Riverbend" would turn up and we'd buy a new fridge for the new house.
But it's not going to happen, is it? While the real estate market is still bubbling away, anything above the average price for the average house in the average location does not sell because people just can't afford it.
"Riverbend" was already not your average house in your average location when I bought it more than thirty years ago for an already more than average price. Since then, waterfront properties in the same lane have sold at ever-increasing prices, with the last sale at $2,500,000 for a house on a block just a smidgen bigger than your average quarter-acre, which surely should make "Riverbend" with a large brick house on well over seven acres at just a touch over $3,000,000 look like a bargain.
Perhaps buying a new fridge and including it in the price may attract a buyer? Perhaps I drive into town and see what a new fridge would cost. In the meantime, feel free to inspect the house on realestate.com.au.
