Epping is a good area because of the school network, also, handy place. Well, all the Chinese areas are expensive! unless you are willing to move to the west.
DLPapa,
I agree with you, I also think the property is very 抵 if compared with HK, for the same amount of money, you can have a bigger/nicer one here.
However, the auction clearance rate is creative because the real estate agent didn't report if it's not sold. They are playing those figures!!! (I saw TV few months ago)
Birth 15/3: W:4.2kg L:52cm HC:37.5cm
Day 09: W:4.37kg L:55.5cm HC:37cm
Day 46: W:7kg L:62m HC40.5cm
Day 82: W:~9.2kg L:~66cm
Day 112: W:~10.4kg
Lillymarie, sure the prices alone are meaningless without reference to the average wage (ie affordability) of the people. I do reckon that there is a big bubble in the Australian properties market, but surprisingly the clearance rates in most auctions in Sydney & Melbourne have still been doing well (~ 60-70%), ie there are still many ppl willing to buy at the current prices & interest rate, which as you rightly said will surely be on the rise! I really wonder if those buyers have been migrants (Chinese??) as I just cannot figure out how an average Australian afford such prices.
But having said that, if you compare what you can buy with $7M in HK and $800-900K in the Aussie capital cities, you would appreciate what I meant by "cheap", sorry not cheap ..should be very "抵"!
I know, the property price in HK and Sydney both are crazy. In Sydney, $900K is just average quality, new one is over $1M. When the time I owned the property in Tuen Mun, it was only around $4,500-$5,000/sq ft and now it goes to $6,000, my goodness.
Hillgrove, now even in Tuen Mun the developers are selling new apartments at $6000-7000/sq ft la!!! If it was a house, it would be astronomical numbers, A$900K is cheap for a house!
Wed was 15x when we drove past the petrol station.
Unfortunately my job is in Sydney, I would like to move to Brisbane as well.
My recent weekend activity is to visit open houses, they are freaking expensive. In Epping, the average price for a house is A$800K-900K, how can one afford, crazy.

but hillgrove & her husband doens't need to pay medicare levy which is 1.5% on taxable income. so they may pay less than what we are paying.
