What would be a good candidate city to use as a comparison? How about San Fransisco (the Bay Area)? Both are beautiful coastal cities; with famous bridges; fantastic national parks nearby; mild climates.
Lets compare two similar properties in similar types of suburbs. The sort of houses a middle aged father with 3 kids (like me) would look to buy.
The facts below suggest Sydney houses cost 64% more than those in San Fransisco.
Is it because they don't have any wallabies in San Fransisco; or could there be the mother of all housing bubbles in Australia? DontBuyNow
