Where to buy a house in Sydney?

Question

Hi. I have been transferred from Adelaide to Sydney. I want to buy a house in Sydney but I am not sure where to buy. I am working in the CBD so access to public transport is a must. I have two labradors so I need a free standing house with a little bit of yard for the dogs. Needs to be at least 3 bedrooms and would prefer something newish. Budget is $500000 max. Where would be a good place to buy?

It's a pretty big decision to buy a house when you don't know the area at all, you might be best to rent for a few months while you make up your mind where you want to live.

For $500,000, you're not going to find too many free standing houses near the city (if any). You might find some nice places in parts of the HIlls District however the transport isn't that great there (mainly buses although they do have lot of city services). You probably could also buy in the west or the south but make sure you're buying into a safe suburb. Maybe do a bit of research and ask more specific questions again on Answers.
