Australia’s cheapest suburbs for first-time homebuyers and investors

Breaking into the property market has just become easier with this ground breaking report highlighting the suburbs with the lowest medians across the country.

The following report showcases the suburbs with medians of no more than $134k.

While some of these areas are small towns, many are located close to large regional centres such as Woree which is located directly south of Cairns.

Surprisingly, even high-population areas and economically diverse regional towns such as Broken Hill, Bathurst, Orange and Armidale still offer amazingly low entry price points for buyers with houses going for as low as $80k for a one-bedder in Broken Hill.

When chosen carefully, properties in these areas could be just your ticket to building a solid portfolio to retire on.
