In that price range you can now find a large 3-4 bed, 2 bath house (in very good condition I must add), not far from the CBD, walking distance to the train station in some very nice inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Lucky to find a decent 4 bed at the moment for under $2k per week in our area

Rents definitely appear to be coming down in the suburbs I mentioned.
