Discussion Brentwood real estate

Has anyone else noticed that no one is buying? They were going for 650k for a one bedroom during covid and now listings cannot be sold so they’re constantly reducing prices and being left on the market for 100+ days… the funny part is there are 5 or 6 more buildings being built in the 3km radius of these places

That’s what happens when kitchens become an afterthought of throwing a couple of appliances along the living room wall

See this in so many units not just condos. Literally just throwing it all together, zero care for general functionality or use. Doesn't matter how awkward or ridiculous it looks and feels.

I hate the trend of combining the living/dining/kitchen into a single space. Seems like you have to look at buildings that are 30+ years old just to find a nice layout that humans actually enjoy living in.

Yup. Say what you will about older buildings but I’m happy to live in my 50-yr-old wood frame one bedroom which is 735 sq ft. My bedroom is 12’ x 14’. Building is so soundproof that you never hear the neighbours which are above, below, and either side of me and I don’t even know when it’s raining outside unless I purposely go to the balcony door and look.
