Re: Sydney house prices worse than London
What are you using to measure that ?
Looks like wages are higher on average in Sydney than London for starters, I dare say that comparison may carry over to the other Two Cities.
The average weekly wage in New York is circa 1100 USD as far as I can make out. Which will bring it in under the Aus National Average.... whilst interest rates stay this way.

Plenty of international Tourists in Sydney as well.... so how do you measure a cities value on a world scale ?

Re: Sydney house prices worse than London
What a joke, Darwin more exxie than London and New York! Honestly, if you think you are getting value by buying in Darwin, then go ahead, you need your head tested. 
Sydney is a nice city BUT it's a 2nd rate city compared to London, New York, Tokyo. It just goes to show how out of whack prices have become.
I bet Perth is high up on that list. As I've said before, you'll need a big swag of cash to afford Australia otherwise you'll be living in a bogan heaven or out in woop woop.

Re: Sydney house prices worse than London
well camberwell has been quoted as being up and coming for the last 20 years
some would call it edgy
i would call it an absolute shit hole
does anyone know where this house is as i wouldnt be surprised if it is on a council estate at that price
if that is the case you cant really compare
