1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: If these new trade me numbers are to be believed,

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: and I have no doubt about them, I have no

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: reason not to believe them. Then the biggest problem that

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: we have with property and getting a foot on the

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: ladder is not price. We're not too poor, we're too fussy.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: So trade me has surveyed its members as the market's

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: showing green shirts, et cetera, et cetera. Forty four percent

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: of buyers we're willing to compromise on the size of

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: a section, only forty percent on the size of the property,

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: only forty percent on the size of the garden, only

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: thirty three percent on the condition of the property, and

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent on the location. So if you flip

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: those numbers, around fifty five percent of people won't compromise

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: on section size. I'll have the section size I like

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: and nothing else. Sixty percent no compromise on the size

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: of the property, sixty percent none on the garden, sixty

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: seven percent it must be new or near new, thank

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: you very much. And seventy two percent won't travel or

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: leave their favorite suburban hard to please much. Hey, I

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: bought a house with holes in the floor and the walls.

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: There were plants growing from the ground up into my bathroom.

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: The shower pulled. I had to use a bucket to

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: empty the shower every morning. This carried on for two years.

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: In fact, the shower was so small and the shower

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: head was fixed, so I had to duck every time

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I got on the shower to have a shower and

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: duck my head, and the shower head was fixed. It

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: would only get me from my nipples down. Had very

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: clean nipples, very filthy here. Anyway, The point of the

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: story is I lived like that for two years. I

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: fixed it up. On you go, things are okay, but

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: you have to compromise. Property is not a perfectionist game,

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 1: is it. It's about compromise and it's about trade offs.

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: Like any good negotiation, surely everything must be on the table.
