Sydney is a very big place. The inner city measures 25 square kilometres (10 square miles), the Greater Sydney region covers 12,367 square kilometres (4,775 square miles) and the city's urban area is 1,687 square kilometres (651 square miles) in size.

And which website is good for searching or anywhere I can post my requirement for buy? Thanks a lot! That's a very general question! Where will you be working? Sydney is a sprawling city and you can easily be living 2 hours from the city centre and still be in the suburbs. A lot will depend on your budget. Prices vary massively across the city. The further from the city centre and coast you go, the cheaper it gets but also, of course, the longer your commute (if you're working in the city) and the further from the beach. Domain.com.au and realestate.com.au are the two sites for buying and renting. Be aware that if you are on a temporary visa, you need special permission from the FIRB to buy, and you'll pay about three times the normal stamp duty on the purchase. So, for example, on a $900,000 house, an ordinary Australian would pay $35,000 stamp duty, but you'll pay $107,000 stamp duty.

Tychen Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I recommend these two blogs. Completely subjective of course, but I find that a blog author's intuitions about a suburb are often a better guide than someone merely crunching stats - and definitely a lot more helpful than a real estate website's write-up which is only aimed at selling houses to you. www.travelwithjoanne.com www.sydneycompletion.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 My advice, for what it's worth, is to find a place as close to where you are working as possible, and if you don't want to live close to where you work, then find both work and home on a railway line.
