Speaker 1: So, another trip around the sun and another block auction
0:03
Speaker 1: is upon us.
0:04
Speaker 2: Time flies.
0:05
Speaker 3: Time flies, especially when you're building a house. The auction
0:09
Speaker 3: is this Sunday night for us. It's on this weekend.
0:12
Speaker 3: Scott Cam is with us.
0:14
Speaker 1: Good morning, Scotty.
0:15
Speaker 2: Morning, Scotty. Morning, guys. It doesn't go quick if you
0:18
Speaker 2: spend three months with them.
0:19
Speaker 1: That's true.
0:19
Speaker 2: Seven days a week.
0:20
Speaker 1: That's true.
0:21
Speaker 4: There would be some days that would drag a little,
0:23
Speaker 4: I guess.
0:24
Speaker 3: Now, Scott, you've been doing this a while, but this
0:26
Speaker 3: is the first time we go in knowing the reserves.
0:29
Speaker 2: I know, new Victorian rules, which started last weekend. Yeah.
0:34
Speaker 2: So it's only a week old.
0:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.
0:36
Speaker 2: And so we're really guinea pigs in this situation. We're
0:39
Speaker 2: not sure how it's going to affect us or how
0:41
Speaker 2: it's going to affect them. It's sort of an unknown territory.
0:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it wasn't in the planning meeting at the beginning,
0:48
Speaker 4: was it?
0:48
Speaker 3: No.
0:49
Speaker 2: No, not at all. And so you've got to reveal
0:52
Speaker 2: your reserves a week before to everybody. Yep. And, of course,
0:56
Speaker 2: the auction will... As long as you've got two buyers, well,
1:00
Speaker 2: then it doesn't matter what the reserve is.
1:02
Speaker 1: Two people to battle it out.
1:02
Speaker 2: They'll fight it out if they want it. Yeah.
1:04
Speaker 1: So we know the reserve is $ 3. 45 million.
1:08
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:09
Speaker 1: How nervous are you given the market and the price
1:11
Speaker 1: point of these homes?
1:13
Speaker 2: Always nervous. You know, the next 48 hours is going
1:16
Speaker 2: to be pretty tough, and it always is. We wake
1:19
Speaker 2: up feeling a bit sick in the stomach. We've got
1:21
Speaker 2: no control over the day, which is quite bizarre. It's
1:24
Speaker 2: our grand finale, and it's the most important show of
1:27
Speaker 2: the year, and we've got no control over it. Yes.
1:30
Speaker 4: Because, as Lisa was alluding to there, the market has
1:33
Speaker 4: changed so much since the last series. It's changed a
1:36
Speaker 4: lot since this series got underway. I mean, there might
1:42
Speaker 4: be a bit of going back to the drawing board
1:44
Speaker 4: for the next series after, you know, with the current
1:46
Speaker 4: market situation.
1:48
Speaker 2: Absolutely. We've got the interest rates going up. We've got
1:52
Speaker 2: budget issues from the top dogs.
1:57
Speaker 4: We won't name names, but you know who they are.
2:00
Speaker 2: Yeah. And which makes it difficult for people to commit
2:05
Speaker 2: to spending a few mil on a house or even,
2:08
Speaker 2: you know, three and a half, four. Right. So anyway, look, again,
2:12
Speaker 2: but they're great homes. Yeah. They're really well built. They're beautiful.
2:16
Speaker 2: They've got beautiful views. Mount Eliza's a great town. I
2:20
Speaker 2: loved living there for three months. It was fantastic. And so,
2:24
Speaker 2: you know, we're confident. We've certainly got interest. There's no
2:28
Speaker 2: doubt about that.
2:28
Speaker 3: And it's a little bit niche in being Mount Eliza
2:30
Speaker 3: and having those views and everything. And so, you know,
2:33
Speaker 3: it's not necessarily going to be governed by what is
2:37
Speaker 3: going on with the market.
2:38
Speaker 1: That's always going to be its own market, I guess.
2:41
Speaker 3: Now, if we can talk about our WA hopes, Lisa
2:44
Speaker 3: and Roscoe, they came in with less building experience than
2:46
Speaker 3: some of the others but hung in there. What impressed
2:49
Speaker 3: you the most about Lisa and Roscoe? I thought their
2:52
Speaker 3: work ethic was pretty amazing.
2:53
Speaker 2: Work ethic was fantastic. They're terrific people. They're great family people,
2:57
Speaker 2: great husband and wife, great mum and dad. We really
3:00
Speaker 2: love them. I thought they were just terrific young people
3:03
Speaker 2: having a crack. And that's what I love to see. And,
3:07
Speaker 2: you know, I told him so. I said, you know,
3:09
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what happens. You've done a great job.
3:11
Speaker 2: Australia loves you. Perth loves you. WA loves you, I mean. And,
3:15
Speaker 2: you know, I'm really hoping that they're going to do well.
3:17
Speaker 2: And the other thing about Lisa was she did the
3:18
Speaker 2: whole bloody thing pregnant.
3:19
Speaker 1: I know.
3:20
Speaker 4: Still had to carry stuff.
3:22
Speaker 1: Still carrying stuff.
3:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:23
Speaker 3: Because, of course, you would be so tired in the
3:26
Speaker 3: time that she was doing this.
3:28
Speaker 2: Of course, I wouldn't know that, but I'm assuming you are.
3:33
Speaker 3: I'm assuming as well from what I hear on the street.
3:37
Speaker 2: I mean, they had a few hiccups along the way,
3:39
Speaker 2: but that's all right. That is the block. But they
3:42
Speaker 2: always tried. She did have a bit of a teary
3:44
Speaker 2: week once and budget issues at the beginning. I told
3:48
Speaker 2: them they didn't ever listen. No one listens to me.
3:50
Speaker 2: Don't stop spending money. Reign it in and you'll have
3:53
Speaker 2: some at the end. Of course, no one reigns it
3:54
Speaker 2: in and they've got no money at the end.
3:55
Speaker 3: She had an almost perfect score that teary week. That
3:59
Speaker 3: had to be preggy sort of emotions. Look, it's all
4:02
Speaker 3: happening this weekend. All will be revealed by Sunday night.
4:06
Speaker 3: We'll know who's got what and who's having a beer
4:09
Speaker 3: and who's having a cry.
4:11
Speaker 1: And I think you'll be doing both of those things, Scott.
4:13
Speaker 4: Scotty, we know you're not allowed to tip a winner,
4:15
Speaker 4: but who do you think will win?
4:18
Speaker 2: You know, I love them equally like my children.
4:20
Speaker 4: There's no favourites.
4:23
Speaker 3: Scott, have a nice break next week after it's all over.
4:27
Speaker 2: I will do. I'm looking forward to it. I'm going
4:29
Speaker 2: to head down the coast and chill out for a
4:30
Speaker 2: little bit.
4:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, good idea. Good idea.
4:33
Speaker 2: You've earned it.
4:33
Speaker 1: Rest that narration voice. Okay, Scotty, thank you so much.
4:38
Speaker 1: And we'll see you before you know it.
4:40
Speaker 2: Yep. See you, mate. See you.
4:42
Speaker 4: Bye.
4:42
Speaker 2: See you.
4:42
Speaker 4: Bye.
