Run-down Perth home sells for $480k despite foul discovery
A prospective Perth homebuyer has made a ghastly discovery at a home inspection at a run-down property in Armadale. Brooko Moves, known for her social media content that 'exposes the realities' for homebuyers amid the housing crisis, documented her experience as she checked out the home at 12 Cambell Road. Vision reveals the front and back yard in a state of disarray, with boarded up windows and rubbish strewn across the paving. As she walked through the front door, Brooko pinched her nose to block the foul odour which foreshadowed the grim discoveries to come. Upon walking into the loungeroom, she located the source of the stench — a dead mouse squashed into the carpet. 'The fact you can put a house on the market in this condition and come out half a million dollars richer. . . honestly it's unbelievable,' she said. 'That's actually crazy, this place is $450k and there's a dead mouse on the floor, probably 20 or 30 people here trying to buy it apparently there's already offers from over east.' Syringes were found in the bathroom. Credit: Instagram A dead mouse on the carpet. Credit: Instagam The nasty surprises at the three bedroom, one bathroom home didn't stop there. Two syringes were also found in the bathroom next to the basin. Agent Andrew Byl told Brooko he expected the house to sell for at least the asking price within half an hour of the home open. When asked if he was aware of the dead mouse and syringes, Mr Byl laughed it off before replying 'no, I didn't look that far'. Despite the property's condition, it sold as is on May 31 for $480,000, according to The home's sale is another reminder of the dire sate of the burgeoning housing market in West Australian. The Poptrack Home Price Index, released earlier this month, found Perth house prices hit a new peak in May, growing 0.27 per cent over the month to reach a median value of $787,000.
