I just googled my old place, and saw they’ve flipped the place very quickly. It looks amazing, and it’s gone from a two bedroom to three. I’m happy to see my bamboo and cherry tree kept their places.

Funnily enough what inspired me to do a search was an article in the Age about dodgy real estate agents buying houses cheaply from their own vendors to flip for profit. It would not surprise me at all to find there was a touch of that with this place - not completely dodgy like the guys in the article, but probably a quick easy sale at a lower price than it could have gotten because the seller is an absent old lady who is easy to persuade to sell for a low price. But to be honest I don’t really care much even if that did happen, I’m just happy we’ve got her into a good place now and the future path with any care needs is all mapped out, the whole situation with moving a parent and myself and selling two houses at the same time was all a bit much happening at once.
