Real estate prices have increased substantly and the average real estate price in Australia is now being quoted as around $486,000 in June 2009 that is the average price across all of Australia, this include the most expensive suburbs to the cheaper houses in remote country areas.

By mid 2008 it was expected the Australian property boom had pretty well had its peak this was the case for many other western economies.

But during 2009 Sydney continues to stand out as having particularly expensive average or median real estate price compared with other Australian cities.

In 2007 Perth had briefly challenged Sydney for top position in the real estate price league, but since the global financial crisis the Perth market has fallen faster than the Sydney market.
