Abit of a fizzer only one selling tonight at auction.

 

[Shell]

Thank ****ing christ it's over- no more "O'Block" ads to sit thru anymore.


I admit, I've never watched the show- cept for a couple eps early on. Had a bit of a giggle- tuned in right at the end- at the two women cracking the shits "what a waste of time". Bahahaha, well too bad if no one wants to buy your shitty house, suck it up princess.

Didnt they want over a million for each one?

The last two houses didnt even crack 900,000? What did the other two go for??

Um the first one was reserved at 950k the others was in the mid 800's from memory. It just shows how much the upper end real estate market is tanking. Nervous times for channel ten and the renovators.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Nervous indeed...


Lmfao- did I hear the auctioneer on ch 9 news say "and its just around the corner from Molly Meldrums house". Bahaha, I would have thought that would be a con of the property, not a pro.


Ohh this update by Jo Hall just then: those women who I was laughing at before, actually did sell their house after the auction, for the reserve price, 900k I think she said.

We spoke too soon rocker. We spoke to soon, see my post above.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Sell for reserve = 0 profit, so you can still lol if you want.

Did lol @ the guy in pink, what a troll.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Wow.

Only watched probably 10% of it, I've never seen any other Blocks, but I was under the impression that they usually sold with ease.

Cannot believe only 1 sold and only 15k over reserve.

Funny.

 

[FIGJAM]

Haha.

Watercress are the production company and they paid $3.6M for the four houses on a total land area of 780sqm. Given they were basically derelict, this reflects a land value of around $4,600psm. This rate psm is idiotic for Richmond and it should be under $3,000 in that location.

They'll sell them eventually, but they will make a big loss on anything over than the product placement and advertising. At the end of it, the bigger sums of money probably make the performance of the properties themselves irrelevant.

I thought they only make the money thats higher then the reserve if it is sold at the auction. Not afterwards due to the competition being over the 100grand already gone to the winner who made the most.
I could be wrong though.

 

[dumb]

would also give polly a good seeing to.

didn't watch much of it, but quite a lot was cringworthy stuff. dancing, ugh.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Don't they only make the money thats higher then the reserve if it is sold at the auction. Not afterwards seeing how the competition is over the 100grand has gone to the winner who made the most.

Nah, last season a house didn't sell ay auction, but sold after and the contestants received the profit.

Funny, cause the winners of the last series got $200k over reserve.

Okay thanks for clearing that up.
Alot of people could be waiting till after the auction in this current housing climate. Find out what the reserve actually is and negotiate around it.

 

[outabounds]

talk about a flop.

 

[tazzietiger]

apparently the sisters that sold after the auction only sold for the reserve so they still made no money haha.

Ooooh ok, I had no idea what the reserves were.

Awesome.

 

[THE MAGNET]

Help me out here i have the plans for the new block which starts soon and have been invited to price the plumbing work.After seeing tonights show they are well short of the 3.6 mil they paid so that begs the question will they be able to pay their bills?.

 

[Vincent Chase]

Thought I'd watch the final and it provided lolz

Only 1 house going over reserve.

What was with the auctioneer that looked like he was about to blow up and that phaggoty looking bloke in the pink suit, seriously hoping someone would walk up and smack him fair in the face.

p.s That Polly chick looked smokin, would go to town.

 

[rocker_oz33]

love it

 

[PP34]

What a fail lolz. Went to see the houses today let's just say they weren't worth what they were asking for. And no wonder they didn't sell for much. The sisters painting was awful there were 3 tones of gray on the side of the house and Josh and Jennas house looked alright but they looked like they had only used one layer of paint. Lol'd at that *** in the pink suit what a flog.

 

[Equus]

What a giant waste of money. To sell it less than the price of how much they bought it for in it's original condition is just an astronomical waste of money. I mean the house has been improved so much and not to mention the cost of labour and everything else. What a massive let-down.

Unbelievable...
