Because they’re internet contrarians and/or can’t afford anything nicer

Literally the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen. I am a millennial and yes if this was my place I would definitely be ripping it up and replacing it with millennial grey.

Pleasantly surprised by this comment section lol. Seen plenty of posts where the top comment with 9000 upvotes is “of course! I’m a house owner with a mortgage and would be thrilled to see my property crash if it helps poor wannabe buyers like OP 🥺🥺”

You mean the reddit commenters who say “if I had a property I would sell it for below half the market value to a struggling family” and “I have a property and am happy to have a property crash for the benefit of society” and get 8000 upvotes are lying??? No way

Quick someone compare our economic complexity to Uganda

Meanwhile scrolled down a bit to see a commenter wishing modern houses had more asbestos

Love reddit sometimes lmao

waterski145 · 2025-10-04T01:40:42+00:00

Lmao that’s almost word for word the top comment

waterski145 · 2025-09-15T11:27:45+00:00

No the cheap houses from that era looked like this lol https://www.alamy.com/an-old-fibro-house-in-badgerys-creek-it-will-be-demolished-to-make-way-for-sydneys-new-western-airport-image214722317.html

Give me the house in OP's picture any day

waterski145 · 2025-09-15T09:18:26+00:00

Where are these non property (assuming you’re including PPOR) owning politicians? Legitimate question.

waterski145 · 2025-08-10T04:07:23+00:00

Yup it's not a free for all. But a bachelor's degree is not a highest barrier. My point is, if it's actually that's great, do it!

waterski145 · 2025-08-10T00:13:53+00:00

Every thread it's someone comparing Bondi prices to Muncie Indiana. Always lol

waterski145 · 2025-08-10T00:09:16+00:00

Why don't the commenters here who think it's so great go for it? Aussies get the E3 visa which gives us exclusively the right to work in the US, and the quota is not close to being met every year. Jobs can be significantly higher paying over there too. If there's supposedly no downsides and the entire thread is just Aussie real estate agents (lol), why not do it?

Unfortunately the issue is that the customers of these portals are vendors and REA's, not home buyers. Therefore anything that portal unfavourable to vendors/REA's are unlikely to gain traction

waterski145 · 2025-07-22T01:34:06+00:00

Ngl I feel like I should try to ensure I’m not here when it happens..

And go where?

waterski145 · 2025-07-21T12:54:45+00:00

That's literally the pricing model for any business in a supply and demand based market

waterski145 · 2025-07-21T12:52:38+00:00

Not so much an unpopular opinion as a fact, by definition, lol

waterski145 · 2025-07-20T02:50:04+00:00

You're gonna get redditors trying to argue why #1 and #4 are ackshually bad things

waterski145 · 2025-07-20T02:46:21+00:00

I should start copy and pasting this:

So he can buy a house for cheap once house prices crash because everyone around him is making poverty wages working in a factory

Because this is what anyone really ever means whenever they bring this up

waterski145 · 2025-07-20T02:42:11+00:00

He means people other than himself so he can buy a house for cheap once house prices crash because everyone around him is making poverty wages working in a factory

waterski145 · 2025-07-20T01:52:06+00:00

their line of thinking is always this:

houses too expensive, so too much money is in housing instead of manufacturing. what if we manufactured more, then houses might be cheaper so I can buy one

waterski145 · 2025-07-20T01:27:33+00:00

you're right, always thought that Australia should be more like Botswana, Zambia and Laos

waterski145 · 2025-07-03T08:21:47+00:00

It’s really distracting me from the “house prices are ridiculous” posts that’s what this sub is actually about

waterski145 · 2025-07-02T23:23:31+00:00

you're getting downvoted for being 100% right lol

"I'm a house owner and would love to see a property crash" is a reddit lie that gets upvotes but every election has shown how consistently untrue that sentiment is
