Greatest gal surfer ever attempts to roll 400k into 950k.
In one of the great sporting comeback stories last September, the ageing Australian champion Stephanie Gilmore sucked the juice out of the universe to win an eighth world title, bewildering her younger opponent in an all-day marathon at Lowers.
It was the final piece in the mosaic that makes up Gilmore’s storied sixteen-year career, putting her ahead of Layne Beachley for most world titles ever and within shooting distance of Slater’s eleven. Unlikely, yeah, but weirder things have happened.
Rightly, Gilmore has been showered in riches from sponsors and various endorsements and has, like most surfers who know the seven-figure cheques don’t last forever, has poured a chunk of her earnings into real estate plays.
And, just listed by the champ herself, to hell with realtors taking their clip, is two-bed condo a few streets back from the Superbank; a breezy cream-brick north-facing joint that was built in the sixties for around nine hundred k Australian dollars or six hundred thou’ US.
Ain’t no significant views but a five-minute walk’ll have you on the sand.
On the second level of a biggish sixteen condo building and with a twin-car garage, Gilmore has hopes of turning her $392,500 purchase price (2006) into the nine hundred-plus.
Rates and body corp fees gonna cost almost ten k a year.
Gilmore, who’s thirty-five, is keeping her other condo in the place, which she bought for 442k in 2005. Mick Fanning bought into the building in 1999, paying $170,000 for a two-bedder.
If she gets the nine hundred it’s a bullish price given the last time a condo in there sold was a three-bedder for $650 in 2021.

Looks vanilla and likely smells like vanilla. Some prefer strawberry or peach, never fish. Fishy smell always brings down the value. After a few beers you might get past it but when you wake up it always still smells like fish. The ones that smell like bacon make you wonder the type or how many that have been there. Apartment hunting like many things in life can be dodgy business.
1. Go to store buy IcyHot
2. Put IcyHot in nostrils before going out, and b4….

Anyone who’s spent any time looking at Real Estate on the Gold Coast knows that there’s a lot of really shit apartments there. This is one of them.
Way better to buy in the Ocean Plaza complex right on the beach in Coolangatta. Views of either Greenmount or the back of Kirra depending upon the apartment and easier to rent out when you’re not there due to having reception downstairs.
And how many steel bar wielding stairwell junkies do I get for my 900k?
Owww! you “beat me”[with a steel bar] to it!
Granny Gilmore lists property for $300,000 over market price!
Displays cuntish intentions ahead of Trestles by using Slateresque mind set to win at any cost.
“I know Carissa won the World Title last year but fuck it, I’m gonna take my #8* Coz ME !”
