More recently, Wollongong has become an attractive destination for new residents moving from Sydney seeking lower real estate prices, less traffic congestion and a less-developed natural environment. Wollongong’s cheaper real estate, combined with efficient transport links to Sydney via CityRail’s South Coast Line and the F6 Southern Freeway, have seen many young families move to new subdivisions in Wollongong while retaining jobs in Sydney.
The city is as one of the 10 least affordable places in the world, when you compare median house prices against median income. So, in Wollongong’s case the property prices are about seven times the median household income and the “lack of affordability” relates to those who are on relatively limited incomes.
There are still suburbs in the Wollongong area where you can pick up a house for less than $300,000 and good value properties can still be found in suburbs like Unanderra and Dapto where the median prices to June 2007 came in at $285,500 and $293,000. Wollongong’s house and unit price cycles have gone against the general trend in Sydney, with prices rising between 2001 and 2003 and then consistently holding value in the ensuing years.
