You need to be more specific in your questions. Have you done the research or are you just getting started now?"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

Just getting started. I've noticed that the house prices have grown quite a lot in the recent years and weren't affected by the fincrysis.Graffiti in a public toilet

Australia has hardly anyone in it so it's not like their bubble can be that big. Just allow a few million immigrants in and suddenly bubble will turn into market based demand.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

But again it depends on where you're looking to move to and why. It depends what your budget is. And a bunch of other stuff. I don't know about the rest of Australia but I know Melbourne. So if you ask some Melbourne specific questions I'll give you some Melbourne specific answers.
Housing prices in melbourne--
Excepting the south eastern suburbs, housing prices are relatively low at the moment. This means they're still crazy high by world standards. But they're not likely to go any lower any time soon.
South Eastern suburbs range from high to mid-end, safe, close to public transport, and depending on how far South and East from the city you go, can get cheap(er). The SE suburbs also have a large Russian-Jewish, Russian, and Jewish population, and assorted Russian food shops. As it is high to mid-end there are many shops, cafes, private schools, etc in the area.
Inner city living is fairly expensive but has close access to everything.
If you're going to work in the inner city (depends on your profession--likely or highly possible if you're white collar), public transport is preferable as car parking is expensive. Public transport cuts 20-30 minutes off your commute in rush hour.
Any further questions, post here or pm me."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well.

If there was a time to buy in Brisbane it was right after the floods. You're a bit late for cheap prices I think. Honestly I don't know Brisbane well enough to help you out. Like I said, I can only talk about Melbourne. Sorry onodera.
Edit:
1. But if you're buying in Brisbane or Qld generally be careful about flood related data for the house. Qld gets them regularly and you should take this data into account when you're buying. Lots of people have had to rebuild their homes post-flooding and it is not a happy moment. I don't know the real estate industry but this is the kind of information a real estate agent would probably help with.
2. Come to think of it have you spoken to a real estate agent?
3. Try websites like domain.com.au or http://www.realestate.com.au for housing generally.
4. Brisbane newspapers may have real estate relatred articles-try Courier Mail or Brisbane Times.Last edited by Zevico; September 26, 2011, 03:36."You say that it is your custom to burn widows.

No, I haven't talked to anyone yet. I'm not moving there immediately, more likely in two years time, so I was wondering if the prices might get lower by this time.Graffiti in a public toilet

googled "housing prices brisbane":
Brisbane's property market is among the weakest of all Australian state capitals, with house prices continuing their slide for a sixth consecutive month.
Brisbane's flagging property market was plagued by rising interest rates well before the floods, but the two factors could send prices further south, a new report shows.
