A graffiti-riddled and dilapidated house has hit the market and its selling agent has taken a rather unusual approach to the difficult task of offloading a home in such shocking condition.
Unlike most real estate agents, Goyal makes little effort to disguise the damage, candidly exposing all of its flaws.
The three-bedroom home is covered in graffiti with very colourful language. It also has boarded-up windows, rubbish-filled rooms, mouldy ceilings and a thick layer of grime on every surface.
The air conditioning unit is filmed hanging on by a thread, with Goyal joking, “That’s just a split system, we just have to put it back.”
The video begins with a smashed up letterbox, though the agent reassures viewers by saying: “Hundred bucks, all fixed.”
Goyal was forced to jump a fence to retrieve the keys and once he’s inside, the horrors are seemingly never ending.
Graffiti on one wall read “Run while you’re still breathing.”
Goyal simply joked, “Yeah, it just needs a new paint.”
The kitchen is sprayed with black and red splatters, the stove and oven are filled to the brim with crusty debris and almost every part of it is damaged,Thankfully, the agent says he’s called the cleaners.
Goyal’s companion screamed upon entering the bathroom and lifting the toilet seat lid, though the agent hilariously brushes it off.
“Yeah, just need to flush it, that’s all.”
The backyard features a shed and a hole in the ground that used to be a fish pond, though the agent confessed there are “no more fish,” adding they are, “all gone.”
Despite the home’s jaw-dropping condition, the agent says there’s an opportunity for someone willing to take on a serious renovation.
“All jokes aside, this is a phenomenal opportunity for a real fixer-upper at a sharp price,” he said.
The property has been listed with a $389,000 asking price, offering three bedrooms, a separate study, one bathroom and a garage on a 639-square-metre block.
The listing makes no attempt to cover up the work it needs though, describing the home as a “renovator’s dream” with “significant renovation potential throughout”.
“She’s not ugly, she’s just going through a phase.”
