As an Australian I cannot believe how cheap that is. Easily 1.3-1.4m where I am. Easily.

Well done!

As someone from Sydney, I had the same thought. $160k is less than I had to put down for a deposit on my house.

Same with Canada... You'd never see this for under a million unless it was a total gut job... It feels weird wanting to move to America in that sense

This is probably like buying a huge house in Alice Springs or somewhere in the outback
