Got a stark reality when we moved east… $1400 rent per week on a place… liked the house and area so explored the possibility of purchasing it… Found out it’s valued at $4.5 mil Da….

I looked at a 2 bed rental in Maroochydore about 15 years ago and it was $400pw even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was shocked when the neighbour sold (Same house without a new kitchen and a smaller pool basically) for $4.25 mil a couple months ago. 🤯 Normal income families just can’t afford that… I chose the area based on the schools… didn’t realise the neighbours all had lambos and g wagons though 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
