A real estate agent in Gauteng revealed that a three-bedroom house in River Oak Estate in Riversdale, Meyerton, costs less than what one would fork out for the latest Volkswagen Golf R.

Taking to his TikTok account, the realtor, Ricky Ferreira, shared that the new development starts from R 1.05 million and includes transfer duty, two undercover parking spots, a private garden, and prepaid electricity and water.

The general manager at Lencar Exclusive Properties added in his video:

"The kitchen is modern, with soft closing, built-in cupboards, and features a gas stove. It's located right next to the brand-new Riverstone Mall, with a ton of great shops, like Woolworths, Checkers, and more."

Because there is an area called Riversdale in the Western Cape, @luton112 said to online users in the comment section:

"This can't be Cape Town or the Western Cape."

A curious @x644811 asked the real estate agent:

"Where’s the yard?"

After hearing about the price, a sceptical @thabokola463 added their opinion under the post:

"In fact, it's worth more than a Golf R with 20 years of bond repayment. It's worth double the amount."
