No idea why things are so expensive here.

Thanks :) Wow those are some big prices out your way .

Yep not cheap or easily affordablr for young couples and most of the population.

As of late 2025/early 2026, the average (mean) house price in Australia is over $1 million, with some reports showing it around $1,016,700 (June 2025) or $1,045,400 (Sept 2025), while median prices for capital cities are around $1.1 million, with significant variations by location, like Sydney (highest) and Darwin (lowest).

What size houses are we talking here? Mine is technically only two bedrooms, but the dining room and the TV room have closets, so they could be used for bedrooms. The dining room also has a Murphy bed!

In Australia, the median price of a house is significantly influenced by the number of bedrooms, with a4-bedroom home often costing substantially more than a 2- or 3-bedroom property. In Metro Melbourne, 4-bedroom houses are priced around $990,000, 3-bedroom houses around $810,000, and 2-bedroom houses at $700,000, reflecting prime location premiums. Generally, adding an extra bedroom can increase a property's value by approximately $50,000 to $150,000.

Ye gods. My little house would be really expensive over there. It's only 1200 sq. ft. Two bedrooms, a room I use for a TV room, kitchen, dining room, living room, a small hallway, tons of storage, one bathroom, and a detached two car garage.

Probably approx. $500,000 ... not sure

Geez Louise! You should move to Texas.

You found 20 CSC in the pool!

Could buy a mansion.

You probably could!

Then I'd need a cleaner or house keeper, don't like house work.

They're fairly reasonable here. Of course I only use mine for two hours every two weeks.

I'll give it some thought. LOL.

LOL! I know moving from one country to another is easier said than done. My Aunt Norma was Australian. I loved her accent.

Trouble is Joey is a French Bulldog, and he is not allowed to travel by plane in and our airlines do not allow dogs to travel with passengers.

In Australia, Virgin Australia now offers a "Pets in Cabin" service for small dogs and cats (under 8kg total with carrier) on specific domestic routes, requiring them to stay in an approved carrier under the seat for the entire flight, while Qantas and Rex primarily transport pets in cargo, and Jetstar doesn't allow pets at all,

8 kg has to be a Chihuahua or some sort of tea-cup dog. Joey weights 13.

Sea travel out of the question also. For international travel, dogs face strict, complex biosecurity rules (e.g., in Australia, a 6+ month preparation time is required).

Think I have to remain an Ozzie.

Definitely. I'd never abandon my dogs either. Just for fun, you should see what $200,000 can buy in Texas. Stick to smaller towns though.
