Jon Lovette—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker May 11, 2017 4:48 PM UTC If you like avocado toast and home ownership, an Australian realtor has a place for you. A real estate agent in Brisbane, Australia is offering a year’s supply of free [avocado](http://time.com/4738249/avocado-metabolic-syndrome/?iid=sr-link1) toast at your favorite café with the purchase of a $595,000 townhouse. As reported by [Brisbane’s 9 News](http://www.9news.com.au/national/2017/05/11/12/23/free-avocado-on-toast-for-a-year-with-queensland-home#FGBlcwKUHCjFVljp.99) the townhouses feature “chic design elements” and “quality craftsmanship” but to make their well-crafted, chic townhouses stand out among all the others on the market, the real estate agents[ Ray White Sherwood](http://raywhitesherwood.com.au/properties/residential-for-sale/qld/sherwood-4075/townhouse/1651959) got a little creative. Whoever buys the home also gets a year’s supply of [avocado](http://time.com/88079/10-things-you-can-do-with-avocado/?iid=sr-link8) toast, although their definition of “a year’s supply of [avocado](http://time.com/3922680/avocados-cancer-study/?iid=sr-link5) on toast” seems to translate to brunching on it once a weekend from a café in Brisbane. The idea apparently came about as a way to make sure that young potential home owners aren’t spending all their money on brunch, and instead can save all that [avocado](http://time.com/4544631/national-avocado-shortage/?iid=sr-link2)\-toast money for a deposit on a home. It’s simultaneously slightly insulting and downright ingenious. The house isn’t built yet, but has already received six offers, according to 9 News. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4775585/free-avocado-house/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4775585/free-avocado-house/"},"headline":"You Can Get Free Avocado Toast For a Year By Simply Buying This Cool House","datePublished":"2017-05-11T16:48:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:33.424Z","description":"Get free avocado toast with purchase of $595,000 house","url":"https://time.com/4775585/free-avocado-house/","keywords":["Newsfeed","breakfast","real estate","Business topic","food and drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt55d355f2bb6a0266/6988ccecbc6cfca1863e14ef/avo-toast.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt55d355f2bb6a0266/6988ccecbc6cfca1863e14ef/avo-toast.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"avocado toast","caption":"avocado toast","creditText":"Jon Lovette—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4775585/free-avocado-house/","name":"You Can Get Free Avocado Toast For a Year By Simply Buying This Cool House"}}]}] ```
