With backyards complete, Charming Street's Block is almost ready for the market. But some big questions remain - like, is the market ready for them? Who do we expect the buyers to be?

It's only been a week, but already the Block has been chock-full of contention, confrontation and curve-aliscious designs.

With three post-war blonde brick beauties ready for reno, Season 19 of the Block is set to be the most charming yet. But why do Shelley and Scotty also think it's the most challenging?
