Homes in Australia under $300K

$300,000 USD (~A$460K) unlocks regional cities and outer-outer suburbs. Hobart fringes, Adelaide's outer north, Perth's far southeast, and regional NSW towns like Tamworth or Wagga Wagga all work. Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney still locked out except for studio apartments or distant satellite suburbs an hour from the CBD. Expect three-bed family homes with yards in the regional option and one-beds in the metro option. This is where Americans on Skills in Demand visas often start looking if their employer is not in a capital city.
