Australias 25 most expensive suburbs & their houses

by realestate.com.au 15 OCT 2012 Dream Homes, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney

RP Data has revealed the richest suburbs in the country for owning a home. So where can you live for a mere $7 million? And what does that look like? Using median values analysis for houses, Senior RP Data Analyst Tim Lawless has identified the most expensive locations in Australia for home ownership. Unsurprisingly, Sydney waterside suburbs dominate the upper crust.

Point Piper takes the national crown, with a median value of a cool $7.3 million. The suburb also has a very high rate of home ownership; of 148 detached houses, 57 percent are owned outright. Peppermint Grove is the richest WA suburb, and fifth overall. The median house value there is $4,284,941 million. Heres the top 25 richest suburbs and their median house value.

17. Lavender Bay, Sydney NSW, $2,330,499 18. Orange Grove, Perth WA, $2,238,256 19. Palm Beach, Sydney NSW, $2,191,449 20. Cremorne Point, Sydney NSW, $2,183,485

21. Kooyong , Melbourne VIC, $2,105,116 22. Mosman, Sydney NSW, $2,075,036 23. Longueville, Sydney NSW, $2,054,493 24. Linley Point, Sydney NSW, $2,043,915

25. Bronte, Sydney NSW, $2,011,687 Eagle Bay in the Margaret River region has a median house value of $2.86 million but the most expensive home currently on the market is priced at $10.5 million. Queenslands most expensive suburb for houses is Main Beach, on the Gold Coast. Number 34 on the overall rich list, Main Beach has a mere 88 detached houses (just 5.9 percent of all properties). Bayview is the highest placing suburb in the Northern Territory, ranked 196 overall. Median house value there is $1,081,238 million. So what pulls premium prices from buyers in these areas? Lawless says theres definitely a pattern. Suburbs are either close to the water, feature heritage homes or offer large blocks of land. Many have all three going for them. All but three are less than 10km from their CBD. Battery Point is the only suburb in Australia where it costs less than $1 million to buy into the rich list, with a median house value of $861,560. The rich list really is the home of the 1% less even with the top 25 suburbs and surrounds accounting for just 0.5 per cent of Australias population. According to Mr Lawless, the vast majority of people cant afford to buy, or for that matter, rent in these suburbs.
