When an older relative next asks you why you’re taking so long to dip a toe into the property market (“I owned my first house by 30”), there are a few responses you can offer.

I’ll leave out the ones that include words fit for Lewdle and suggest you say this is what R4,2 million gets you in the ‘burbs these days.

(I see it’s reduced to R3,9 million now. Small mercies.)

Suffice to say salary increases have not kept up to speed with property price rises over the past three decades.

What’s that? You don’t care. Alright, let’s just move along and enjoy ogling this R8,85 million one-bedroom apartment in Sea Point listed on Sotheby’s.

To be fair, it is quite nice:

This exceptionally rare & most unusual offering is a brand new Sotheby’s release and should be seen in person to be believed.

Ground floor, 2 Entrances (Ideal for work-from-home), Open Planned Space, Completely Rennovated throughout

Stunning Italian double bath and other expensive fixtures and fittings, Stunning Sea and Mountain views

Full Security (Trellidoors, beams and fully alarmed), Beautiful kitchen, glass top Miele stove and plumbing for 3 appliances

Suffice to say, see it to believe it

How can a property listing spell the word ‘renovated’ incorrectly?

We move on.

As you were.
