The Cost of Buying or Renting a House in Australia

There are some raging debates going on over at the blog about the cost of housing here in Australia. The debate, of course, is are houses cheaper in the UK or in Australia?

Go back to 2007, Australian houses were a fair bit cheaper and much bigger. Right now, middle of 2011, there’s probably not that much in it in terms of cost, but you still get a much bigger house for your money here.

What the future holds, who knows? For those of you who are exchanging British currency from the sale of your UK home and changing it into Australian dollars to buy a house here, the exchange rate is everything. As exchange rates can change fast, how the prices compare largely depends on what day you turn up.

All you can do is shop and compare. And the best place to do that is on Australia’s number one real estate website called realestate.com.au.

It’s easy to go shopping for houses:

1. Click on which state you want to live in.
2. Type in the suburbs you are interested in, or highlight them from the drop-down menu.
3. Then select your preferences; number of bedrooms, type of property and a minimum and maximum price.
4. Hit the big red search button.

You can also search for new home and land packages if you want to build a new house of your own chosen design.

Happy house hunting!
