Guest Koala Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi, Just heard on the news two days ago that Perth is now the second most expensive city to live in, after Sydney, and house prices are catching up fast. SA and QLD are now the cheapest. There are beautiful places in all states, it would be hard to choose. The general rule is that the higher the price of the home, the better the suburb.

Guest wardy Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Mike We were looking to go to Brisbane but seriously considering the option of Tasmania now with cheaper housing, slightly cooler temperatures and tradesmen in demand I know some people say it maybe a bit quieter than mainland but we don't think thats such a bad thing. We are taking two of our sons 11,13. . . . 17 year old not sure if he is moving yet. We have not decided for definate but definately going to give it further consideration. Best wishes Kaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ohippychick Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Please don't let house prices dictate where you live. It's hard enough to make the move as it is without being in a place you hate but have a cheap house ! My experience is go where the work is and the good schools are then the kids will be ok and the money will be coming in all of which are deal breakers !! After that it's where you'll be happy as a family. We came out with about £100k, spent most of it setting ourselves up and have put a minimum deposit on a house with the same mortgage as we had in the UK, definitely not something we wanted to do or have. But, hubby earns the same here as the UK and we're out all the time as there's so much to do that's free, we don't pay for parking, the public bbqs are cheap and clean as are the beaches and, in a few years time, the mortgage will be peanuts. We hope !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
