Cost of Living Australia: Rent Prices

What kind of house can you rent for $300 per week in Australia? or What about $500? $600? And $400? In this vlog I go house and apartment hunting in Melbourne Australia and do a home tour of different rental properties. Most of these prices are also similar to those in other cities such as Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Tasmania and Perth. Sydney is a bit more expensive. Enjoy

I have found in many cases it is actually cheaper to pay off a mortgage than it is to rent. I was paying roughly $500 per week with a mortgage, while renting can be anything between $600 - $1000 per week in some area's.

[@livingsimplyaustralia]

100% (although you need enough savings for the deposit first), but yes, completely agree. My current mortgage is half of what I was paying in rent a few years ago. The issue is that for newly arrived migrants in Australia a mortgage is not accessible at that stage.

[@theghost6412]

@@livingsimplyaustralia I think there are ways for migrants to get help in getting their foot in the door when buying a house and getting a mortgage, that is not accessible for other australians. The rates might even be better too. But I am not very well versed in those ways. I spent a good number of years in England and only just returned home in the last few months. But i had everything waiting for me on arrival. House i was renting out before while abroad to pay its mortgage, I moved back into. Thankfully i always had good tenents and they always looked after the place.

[@ub255]

In my opinion, the third apartment with the gym and pool is really nice for single person.

[@livingsimplyaustralia]

Agree! (or for a couple/young professionals too I reckon!)

[@dalesmith4985]

I'm paying $300 per week in Bundaberg QLD for a small two bedroom duplex unit that was built in 1989. some units are even more and average house rents are $550 and upwards a week, there is a rental crises here which isn't helping with driving up prices due to a housing shortage.

[@aussiedanny28au15]

Or maybe your just a Chinese bot who’s shitting on Australia😊

[@mahakaalkalikavatar3449]

2nd one is also good for a family or 4 students can share the rent and can save the money and can have a huge place for them as well. Last 1 bed apartment is also good for a couple or single person since all the amenities are there!! Loved your video sis I never thought that melbo is so beautiful, And now I saw it with the help of your camera lens!! We are sydney orientated people so never thought about other city in OZ so far.thanks for showing around.

this video is ideal when someone wants to inspect a property! For me, the last apartment is the best ☺

Thank you Joan :) Yes, that one stands out for the location!

This was super helpful!! I'd totally apply for the $300 next to Victoria's market, cheers

[@shontellepayne551]

Love u videos ❤ showing Melbourne for what it is 😍 Ohhhh how I miss living close to the city! I lived in Southbank when I first came here for 6 months (super $$$$) but then I moved to Kensington where I stayed for 9 years - closeby but sooooooo much cheaper than the inner /inner east (like south yarra even) I had a HUGE 2 bedroom 2 bathroom NEW apartment for $450 pw (also they never once increased the rent!) I live way out in the suburbs now I am married and we built a house ect but if I was younger and single, choosing from what u have shown, I would go for South Yarra or close to the VIC markets 😍 (so close to my old work on Errol street!)

[@ahmedezz1727]

Very helpful video for new immigrants 👍👍

[@brunobris]

they are all worth it. though for someone new to australia, the studio apartment is a bit affordable.

[@MonacoSpeed]

It might be hard to believe, but I’d like to give you all a comparison. I bought a new 3 level home in Japan, the house is high on a hill so I have a great view of the city under me. I can see all the way to the mountain ranges. My mortgage is $813 AUD per month. Japan has a reputation for being expensive, but it really isn’t.

[@EriX88888]

might need to add which city and ease of public transport, amenities around the place etc, but wow a 3 level home for that price is crazy nonetheless. Congratulation

[@MonacoSpeed]

@@EriX88888 it's Kumamoto city. Amenities are all there. I'm 7 kilometers from the city center.

[@EriX88888]

@@MonacoSpeed thats awesome, were u from australia, if yes what made you move to japan and what made you buy a property there (migrating? cheaper than renting? etc), sorry if kinda nosy, im going to make a huge move as well and im just curious in your situation for reference, haha

[@MonacoSpeed]

@@EriX88888 I’m originally from Argentina, I moved to Australia when I was 10. I became a school teacher and have been working at American and British international schools in Japan. Renting and buying costs about the same, when it comes to monthly payments. So I thought, why pay someone else’s mortgage, might as well pay my own. I’m actually going back to OZ this April, I have decided to retire in my current profession and seek a new one. I’m no where near retirement age to get a pension, just needed a change.

Nice job I really appreciate please how can someone easily get apartment before coming because am coming this January

[@livingsimplyaustralia]

Hi! Thanks for your question. Highly recommend booking an airbnb for your first 3-4 weeks, and then using that time to go to inspections and see the properties in person. This is for a range of reasons, but mainly because if you're not here it's unlikely real estate agents will rent the apartment to you without having seen it first (and if they do, you should be extremely mindful of scams). Either way, I don't recommend renting without having inspected the property first. Hope this is of some help :)
