What is the property buying process like in Sydney? Is it easy to find a reasonably priced home right now? I'll be moving down for 2-5 years for work, and I'd rather buy something than rent all that time. Looking mostly in North Sydney right now but open to suggestions.

Sydney is the second most expensive housing market in the world, and extremely competitive. Depends on your price point I suppose, and if you’re looking for a house or apartment.

Hi all, I’m in the north east metro area and due to the current RE market we decided to look into PA specifically Lancaster. Anyone in this market and have any thoughts on where it’s headed?

The last owner bought for 35k like 15 years ago 😩 but hoping buying and holding for a few years will give a equal or greater returns over the long run.
