Two Sydney real estate agents have come under fire on social media after a video they filmed that was meant to clap back at critics spectacularly backfired.
In the now-viral clip, the duo from CMP Real Estate celebrated the lease of a property in Leppington, located 53km southeast from Sydney's CBD, for $1450 per week.
Natasha Pincevic, a property manager at CMP, appears in the video alongside property associate Jazmin Refik.
An earlier video, now with over 180,000 views on social media, featured the agents asking, 'Would you pay $1450 per week for this?'
Commenters claimed the prices was too high with one saying,'it doesn't even have a pool' and another adding it was '1450 in the middle of nowhere, lol'.
In the new video - captioned 'keep doubting us' followed by a shushing emoji - Pincevic asks how Refik managed to lease it for such a price.
'The one with no pool, is in the middle of nowhere,' Pincevic quips. Refik adds, 'And a job site next door,' referring to nearby construction.
The two high-five before Pincevic references the classic children's show Bananas in Pyjamas, saying, 'Well done B2,' to which Refik replies, 'See you in the next one B1.'
The home is a six-bedroom, five-bathroom property, with three ensuites, situated on a 450-square-metre block.
Since being posted on Tuesday, the new video has drawn a flood negative comments.
'You basically just told everyone, we're here to rip everyone off,' one user commented. 'I think you're meant to say this off camera guys,' another added.
'Are we proud of these ridiculous prices? Have some mercy people, seriously,' wrote another critic.
Others mocked the video's caption: 'Keep doubting us'? No one doubts that you can lease a property in a housing crisis.'
However, some viewers came to the agents' defense, pointing to market realities.
'Not the agents' fault. It's the market price, supply and demand decides the price,' one person wrote.
'Dual income family, $1450 is affordable,' another added.
CMP Real Estate told Daily Mail Australia that their video was meant as a tongue-in-cheek response to online critics who mocked their advertisement for a rental property.
They said the follow up clip had been taken out of context. .
CMP founder Christina Pincevic, who has been in real estate for over 11 years, defended the rental price, saying it reflects current market conditions.
'We've leased homes of similar size for over $2000 before,' she stated.
Pincevic also cited infrastructure developments, such as the Western Sydney Airport and the Metro line, as factors behind rising property values in the area.
The video comes just days after it was revealed that the average home price in Australia has officially surpassed the $1 million mark, reaching $1,002,500.
