Re: Christmas Day in Sydney

You've just got to hope this horrendous weather doesn't hang around- it's so unseasonally cold right now in Sydney it feels like it's about to snow!

The beaches normally have Xmas parties...

Re: Commuting from North Ryde

West Ryde will be your closest best bet for houses under $500 but even then your choices will be very limited to older stock or main roads.
I'd consider renting a unit/townhouse firstly and also...

Re: Property, Good or Bad time to buy

If you try to pick the bottom of the market in a cycle you'll never buy. Buy when you can afford it and remember that it's a lifestyle decision as well.
Good luck.

Re: tips...

I'd suggest Penrith as your best bet- nicer than St Marys and is the main centre for this area in the western suburbs of Sydney.
Best of luck!

Re: Sydney big houses, suburbs

Hi Punoo

You'll really need to check out newer suburbs about 50-60 mins from the city for that budget and compromise with 5 beds methinks. Try the Hills districts and also the Hornsby line suburbs...

Re: Moving to Sydney but where????

Hi Jay

At least you'll be going against the traffic working in Bella Vista, but there will still be traffic- make no mistake. Have you checked out Castle Hill at all? Lots of cafes, shops etc...

Re: Too Much Choice in Sydney Suburbs!

$500K is not going to get you a house in most of the Hills District suburbs- though if you look further afield at places like Kings Langley you'll have better luck. Far better off to rent first to...

Re: Terrigal

Hi Kaz

Like others have said, Terrigal is lovely but really too far for a Sydney commute. Reconsider other areas such as the Northern Beaches or Eastern suburbs if you want to be near the water...

Re: Advice needed re commute to Prospect, West Sydney

Agree with Gibbo here in that the Hills District is your best bet, though you could also consider the Parramatta region. I'd go for Baulkham Hills or Castle Hill for your money and criteria, though. ...

Re: Working as a GP

Hi Sarah

I can't help with Wollongong but the Upper North Shore area (Hornsby, Wahroonga etc) suburbs are a useful halfway point between Sydney airport and the Central Coast, which may well suit. ...

Re: Buying in Sydney

Hi Trixie

ABC's link is a great start and yes buying in NSW is a lot easier than the UK, as we don't have to wait in chains, like you guys do!

Expect to wait the average time between agreeing...

Re: Sydney suburbs - best of the best

Your best bet would be Dee Why, Freshwater and Balgowlah for older (read: rundown) houses usually on busier roads for this budget. Manly won't reap you anything and even 3 bed units are going to be...
