The price was shown as "Expressions of Interest". In other words, if you need to know the price, you can't afford it. Where it said $644,000 was just a calculator. Badly laid out, so it was confusing though.

I grew up in Sydney North West. Hills District around Dural. There was Rich, Middle income everyone and a sprinkling of poor, and we all hung out together. I knew many rich kids with 3-5 siblings that didn’t have a trail bike, and I did, like many boys. Sharing my bike with them was the best idea ever. The boys and girls were appreciative of my generosity, especially for one of the poorer children, and it paid dividends well into my twenties. I had friends that had houses so big that we could running race for twenty metres or more down a hallway or ride bicycles in a used part of the home, often on a lower split level. FFS. I knew an old WW2 soldier who laid over a million bricks for a 5 level house. The master bedroom could fit a lazy 4 king size beds with plenty of room between. My house could fit in 3 bedrooms

[@tommyyologaming8034]

I live in that area now, but new house and its tiny in comparison to the old houses but we have 5 bedrooms on 505sqm and a small pool. House is worth almost 2 million and you get nothing for it these days

[@Jeni10]

Ryan, that first house is a country farmhouse, very typical of homes in rural areas where the land is used for sheep and cattle, etc. You searched highest to lowest, instead of the other way round. Gold Coast is super expensive!

[@kimrye5197]

Fun fact, my mate purchased a half renovated house a few hours inland from the qld coast, for 85k. It was a deceased estate. The thing is, ALL the supplies to finish the reno was already there. It's 3 bedroom, 2 dining room, 2 lounge room, 2 bathroom and livable attic. On a 1 acre block with a large sturdy 6 bay garage. With him being a good handy man he was able to finish it himself. Here we are 5 years later and it's now valued at 485k. Not a bad profit for his time. Also weirdly enough, I've been after a certain type of old light fitting for over 20 years. Being mostly glass most never survived the decades, so when I did find them they were super expensive. Guess what he found in a box all bubble wrapped in amongst the renovation stuff,,,,, yep,,,,, and he GAVE it to me. This is in a little town called Dallarnil. One of the few towns that does not have a pub lol.

[@hoaxdeath01]

Peppermint Grove is one of the really swanky suburbs of Perth, like Toorak in Melbourne or Point Piper in Sydney. And in Perth, it is probably mining money. Sydney is more tech bros.

[@camtinley]

I know the owner of that first house. In my opinion the best house in Perth. Marie-Louise Wordsworth owns it. She is an absolute legend of a person and never talks about money. She was interviewed on radio and they kept pressing her about business and she said "One does not talk about these things" lol. Pretty much the only person in Perth who wouldn't talk about money if they had stacks of it. IMO the price would be about $18,000,000.00. I hope it's heritage listed. It is on one acre on the top of the hill in Perth's most expensive suburb (Peppermint Grove). She is from really old money in Western Australia. Not involved in mining at all.

[@lynneperry7454]

It looked like old money / good taste.

[@janehall7737]

[@markleon411]

ROTFL. You are hilarious. You were looking at the repayment calculator. You have to put in the price to find out how much the repayments will be. Those houses would be for auction, so wouldn't have a price to show. The first house gave you a ball park figure to go from. They would be upwards of $20M.

Yeah, the Peppermint Grove property price is surely wrong! Even when I lived in Perth, 1974-1992, a property with that amount of land and size of house on both the Swan river and so close to the sea, was a millionaire's row suburb.

Just for your info. One of the most recognised mega mansions on the Gold Coast has been listed with a new marketing push and an owner who is “very motivated to sell”. Villa Vittoria is set across five north-facing blocks at on the luxurious Sovereign Islands. It has been on and off the market with different agents since October, 2019 - at one point it had a $50m price tag. The resort-style pool at Villa Vittoria. The kitchen. Seller Riccardo Rizzi, a Perth-based civil engineer, put his hand up at a 2013 auction to purchase the property incomplete for $5.3m. He has reportedly spent about $11m bringing it up to its current stage. The mansion, on a 4254sq m lot with 106m of Broadwater frontage is modelled on a 100-year-old chateau and was designed by Brunei architect to the royals, Bayden Goddard.

Anyone up for a dinner party? Ivy Wu and Isaac Kim, of Ivy Realty, are behind the latest marketing push. “We are on the market at offers over $35m,” Mr Kim said. “The owner has lowered his expectations and he’s very motivated to sell. The residence at 26-34 Knightsbridge Parade East is set across three levels connected by a lift, with architectural features including soaring voids, spiral staircases and marble columns.

Hey Ryan regarding the giant house with the turret on Sovereign Island, Gold Coast. My company is in pest control and we have serviced that house for a few years doing annual termite inspections and pest control. The owners are a young Chinese couple. As far as I know They have a couple of shoe factories in China, export their products all over the world. Last time I was there a few years ago, their elderly parents were out from China for a visit. They had no English, just nodded a lot!

Melbourne is pretty insane, Toorak has houses north of $100mil, Clendon Road I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is the wealthiest street in the suburb, if not the city. Many of the houses there are on estates that were established by the British for high level dignitaries living in Melbourne, and early entrepreneurs that were able to get a foothold in the city in the 1800's. Coonac (65 Clendon Road) is an amazing property and heritage listed - I believe it's only overshadowed by 62 Clendon Road, but both are worth north of $100mil $AUD.

Quite some years ago, the vet clinic I chose was in Chirnside Park (outer Melbourne) not far from a large shopping complex but faraway enough that the area became more rural, strawberry farm, larger acreage, etc. There was a huge construction site going on that seemed to be going on for years. As it started to take shape, I thought it must be another shopping/cinema/ type of building. It was huge but also ugly, ostentatious in this semi rural environment. It stood out like a sore thumb and it is a privately owned residence. If anyone is interested in finding this monstrosity, it is located on Edward Road on the left, just before Switchback Road to the right.

At the time it had been on the market for three years.Quote, "A gorgeous $45 million colossus in Queensland has been on and off the market for almost three years and closes out 2022 as one of Australia's most enduring listings. The waterfront mansion at 26-34 Knightsbridge Parade East, Sovereign Islands, a luxurious pocket of the Gold Coast's Paradise Point, is a grand villa crafted in a French style by the architect to the Brunei royal family, Bayden Goddard. The brief was to design a chateau that appeared to be a century old. At its asking price, it will set a Gold Coast record. Pricefinder data shows the glam home, with 100 metres of Broadwater frontage, has been withdrawn and relaunched several times on the market since March 2020. It passed in at $28 million at auction later that year."

[@cherylemaybury9967]

You can’t go on the first picture because it’s sometimes just showing the land but not the house. And if you look carefully at where you are reading the prices it says suburb average price it’s not the price of the house. Most mansions don’t have a price on them because they are sold by auction and Queensland has a law about not even putting a possible price range on a house that goes up for auction. The first house at the Gold Coast would probably be worth around $50 million . Try looking at the cheapest end of the market and you will find that the cheapest houses are over $700,000 and that would be a tear down. You are looking in the wrong place for the price of the house. Zoom out and look at the listing and below the picture where it has the address, they usually put the price or they type contact agent for price.
