Cheapest House In Sydney? 2024 Edition 

In Oslo, Norway, there is a flat built in 1890, with about 130k aus worth of renovations before its livable for sale for 900k aus. House prices are insane just about everywhere.

Aberdeen City, Scotland, UK, 3-bed detached for sale: Most expensive = £1.6M Cheapest = £130k

I love it how most lawn area's are photo shopped

Here teenage retreat is called granny flat, which often enough is rented out as separate, so that you can also get income from it, and the main house also is a rental. Up to 8 on one property I have seen, so the owner makes a pretty decent profit each month from the rental. Battleaxe is called a panhandle here, from old properties that were subdivided into 2 pieces, as the original house was typically built on the front third of the property.

Awesome content on your channels and forum. Couldn't resist commenting when you said Baulkham Hills ;D Been calling that suburb home for a few years now! Thought you must be based out of the US given how you are always talking US prices and how damn hard it appears to get a good deal on scopes here in Sydney!

13:11 You should look at the floor plan for sizes, ie, the pics make it look bigger, because 2.6m x 3.6m isn't very big for BED 2/3. My friends house in Yagoona was the same size in sq - 2 bed is norm for old houses - as another friends 4 car garage he was building - lol -.

I bet all those "don't buy a home, you should rent and invest the difference" people from 5-10 years ago are not very happy with this situation. My friend is angry about it. I bought a house 9 years ago, he rents. His rent caught up to my mortgage like 4 years ago, and it's much higher right now! He's already "in negative" while I "reprogrammed" the mortgage into a normal loan (not a mortgage anymore)! I don't know what should people do right now, it's probably impossible to buy a home for a normal person anymore, it's absolutely ridiculous!

But these houses are built cheap as crap!? How can they be that expensive?

How much copper is in it?

If you were by transmission lines, would it work to put a coil in your attic and try to couple the towers for power?

You think Sydney is expensive, you have to see the prices in Germany... And we are already in a recession right... We'll see in a couple years...

Seeing this and I just think how? In Lisbon, on the suburbs if you want a semi detached house with 300 square meters you are looking to 600k to 700k euros. The average income of the country is near to 1k a month. And seeing those houses makes me cry of how cheap they are

How tough is it to find a house on about 100 acres in the outback at an affordable price?

Converting those prices into GBP, i have to say they are pretty much the same as my town in Reading UK. 35 Miles west of London.

A new form of dumpster diving? Still affordable in Wilcannia, more guaranteed sunshine too!

Damn, that's alot of dough if you're looking to buy your first family home. It feels more and more that we need to move as much out of the city centres as possible and spread it out. I thought work from home might help but it did'nt turn out to be as long term a game changer as I hoped.

2:04, did Dave misspeak or is that some subtle joke about North Sydney?

I just had a look in my city - cheapest detached house for sale is $1.15m CAD ($1.27m AUD). It's a two bedroom house built in 1944 that's smaller than my 1 bedroom condo. Looks like a former military PMQ and likely has city planning restrictions that make rebuilding difficult. It's next door to the airport, has no dedicated parking, and has no retail stores in walking distance. I cant imagine wanting to live there unless you happen to work at the airport. A typical house in the city is more along the lines of $2.5m. At the other end of the spectrum, most expensive listing is currently $6.38m, though I'm aware of a listing in the recent past that sold for $13m. Condos look to start around $350k for an older (1950s-1970s) single bedroom in a wood frame low rise - there is quite a few of them at that price. Concrete building units start around $500k.

TIL hills hoist are an aussie invention, they are (were?) quite popular in the Netherlands as well. In terms of housing prices, 750k AUS$ only gets you a free standing house in a small village here, and it will typically be a fixer uppper as well. Either structurally, or last updated in the 70s or 80s. In small cities it's already very rare, and anything big, not going to happen.

they sell well above the auction guide price

In a few years they'll wonder why people are not having kids while ignoring crap like this.

Western Sydney gone crazy. St Marys is going to be one of the first stations from the new airport guess that's also pushing up the value too in that area.

Here's a video idea - go and squat in one of those houses and see if you can survive for a week without being attacked :)

Lucky you, only 700k. In Switzerland, better not even think of something similar for under 2 MILLION

How much it costs to build a house in Sydney?

Wow, cheapest I could find here was just under C$1m, and that's 30km from downtown.

No chance most of them are going for those prices, when I was looking a while ago you over what they are asking then they tell you you're dreaming. It's just a marketing scan to get more interest, they're looking for 100k more than asking

It's cheap if you compare to Singapore !

Only people I've known from western sydney consider western sydney "sydney". Lots of commuters move north/south since they don't want to spend half their life on M2/4/5. A lot of what I used to go to the CBD for moved out to Parra. And I'm sure it's gonna move west again in the next decade, with the new airport coming in. That 'three city' plan that seemed laughable might actually happen.

I bought my house for $15k and haven't paid rent or mortgage for over a decade. lol. I don't know why everyone likes to pretend that they MUST have a new house.. There is land around here going for 4k per acre.. We were looking at 26 acres for $100k. (no house). But that's out in the country a bit, which is where I want to be. lol. I'll never buy anything inside city limits again. (Oklahoma USA, btw)

Good thing that australian pesos arent worth that much ;)

It's disappointing to hear from you blaming immigration on the housing crisis. I hear this crock of crap constantly in Canada, It's a global phenomenon, and in our Commonwealth countries especially, a lot of it is to blame on exclusionary zoning (preventing the construction of anything other than single family detached homes) and retail/institutional investors. Pricing is raising far faster than immigration and they're often too lower income to buy homes (especially as these stupid prices that none of the younger generation can afford)

Dave pretends to be Lous Rossman.

Stay away from BlackTown

Housing crisis in the Netherlands as well, and it has nothing to do with immigrants as well. This is quite affordable if you compare with prices in Amsterdam centre, and who wants to live there, it is a disgusting city, Sydney must be much better.

A 30,000 square feet mansion which boasts royal links "Dalhebity House", in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, has a small lake, tennis court, woodlands, spa complex, swimming pool and housekeeper’s accommodation. The eight-bed house situated just 7 miles from Aberdeen International Airport - £7.5M

We wouldn't have car accidents if the cars didn't move, but no one wants to talk about that do they!

Genuine question. How do young people nowdays even can afford their own home with these prices? Do you earn in Australia like 100k+ year easily? Here in north east europe house prices crazy as well. They can compete even with your Sydney prices. Not sure where the world is going to.

Australian household income is among the highest in the world, your cities are world class so its not really surprising homes are expensive. Your chart of prices also shows the fact that Australia spectacularly avoided the credit crunch which is another reason. All our countries populations have increased massively in the last 40 years and our governments have done nothing to prepare for it or solve it after it happened. These houses are £3OO K in the UK money, the equivalent sized house in London would cost you £1+ million. So prices in Sydney still got a way to go lol. Lol those new builds look amazing to me in the old dark. Your chart doesn't even show house prices going up by more than inflation so you are coming across more like an old man that doesn't understand why prices increase...old man shouts at clouds vibes. Lol 1970/80's houses are still new to me!

6:40 Disappointing to see new builds still come with gas.

You know, watching the exact same situation and the exact same tendency in most EU countries, in the USA etc., and since a large chunk of the economy depends on the housing bubble, I suspect that the worldwide pro-immigration policies are designed to cause this housing crisis. And keep the prices growing.
