Real Estate

Manly is one of Sydney’s most expensive suburbs to buy or rent. Renting a 1 bedroom unit costs from about $400 per week. 2 bedrooms, $500+. A 3 bedroom house starts at $700 per week and up to $4000.

The first home buyers grant offers up to $21,000 and interest rates are at historic lows.. This has artificially inflated prices by about $60,000 in the under $500,000 range. First home buyers can just about afford a home now. Australia is the last country in the developed world still experiencing a property boom although the over $500,000 market is falling. When the bubble bursts, which is inevitable, the prices in the first homeowners price range will collapse. It’s happened all around the world so why should Sydney be any different. Interest rates can go up as fast as they came down..View the Weekend Manly Daily Colour Real Estate Magazine Here
