Re: How do house prices compare with wages
Melborne is quite a bit cheaper than Sydney I found. I thought they would be about the same..
hard question to answer - for me personally, it is all quite affordable..

. Brighton is not far off that for a 3 or 4 bed house. Places like Kew, Hawthorn, etc you're looking at $700k+ for a 3 bed with a small garden. Maria, there are 300 suburbs in Melbourne....median house price per suburb ranges from $200k to over a $1m. i.e. there is a huge range of housing to suit all budgets. All depends on location, whether you head east/south east or north/west; how far out of the city you want to be, whether you want to be Bayside or not, etc etc.
Mike is right about the crime - there are certain areas you need to avoid. Springvale, Sunshine, Deer Park, Noble Park, Dandenong, Footscray to name but a few (and they all have such lovely sounding names too!). You just need to keep doing lots of research.
Good luck with your search

Hi there. I'm 31 and hubby is 38. You're probably thinking of Sue, a friend of mine who posted a thread about the best visa to apply for due to their ages etc. Sorry for any confusion

Thanks, that explains it. It's just that many people over 45 have been unable to get PR despite trying every which way.
I have got mine through a contributory parent visa.
I had tried in the past but was turned down because of my age despite being a registered Nurse. That is why I was curious.
Best wishes

A report I read last week said that median house prices in all of Melbourne's 238 suburbs rose in 2003. As someone else said do a search on Melbourne in this forum and you'll throw up plenty of information.

With apologies for any others I missed 'off the top of my head'. This is just a purely personal perspective I deliberately left out lots of nice suburbs in the outer suburbs and beyond you will notice - many of which are very affordable.

Not really, I was looking at the listing of median house prices by suburb and it was arranged in alphabetical order and I grabbed them quickly from there!OzTennis
