Which city if more expensive to live in : Perth or Brisbane?
Just a simple one word answer.....

Re: Simple YES or NO answer on cost of living comparison ....Brisbane versus Perth
i know the OP wanted one word answers but it isnt that easy
i based my answer on the median house price as the perth median is $50k dearer than brissie ( using realestate median figures from the internet )
and as your house is without dout the biggest ivestment / cost in the cost of living ive answered perth
regards steve

Brisbane - but where ever you go be prepared for big prices and big interest rates and a constant struggle (ignore if your minted already). We a havent got kids and are both working and are paid good money, yet at the end of the month the cupboard is bare!! If we wanted to go home for an emergency tomorrow we couldnt, simple as that.... As my Wife says 'the sunshine doesnt pay the bills'.

Re: Simple YES or NO answer on cost of living comparison ....Brisbane versus Perth
House prices are creeping up on the coast here whereas on the way down in Perth.
Food esp. fruit and veggies is more expensive in QLD-ironically.
Flights are cheaper
So suppose, it all weighs up !
