South Australia

South Australia has the lowest living costs and the most affordable housing of any mainland Australian state. Average Weekly Earnings for adults in May 2013 stood at approximately $1285 while the median price of housing in Adelaide is around $395,000, well below the median price of housing in other mainland states and the average of $490,000 for all capital cities.

Housing

House and rental property prices vary widely across Australia. Below are three tables which will give you an insight into the median price of housing and rental properties in each of the capital cities. House and rental property prices are usually less in regional townships than in the major capital cities. 

When you first arrive in Australia, you may want to consider a temporary or short-term rental property. This will give you time to acclimatise to your new home and gather some knowledge about the different suburbs in the city, and the availability of transport; and access to employment; shops; support services and agencies; community support and to schools.

When it comes to renting a property in any of the states and territories, you will probably be required to pay a 3 month bond, which will be refunded at the end of the leasing agreement. Rent is paid in advance
