Why not move to a smaller city that is more affordable? Brisbane has software jobs and a lower cost of living.

Condos in Perth near the CBD are surprisingly very affordable, though there are fewer good jobs.

Perth has a sickeningly low density of residents within the CBD, and as a result you can get some really good deals on apartments within a stones throw to the city. It's also got a pretty good 'small town' sort of atmosphere compared to other cities.

It's not exactly the most progressive of places, however. But personally I love it.

NB: I'm currently in the position of purchasing land in Perth and you can get some good sub-$200k deals on 350-400 square metre blocks within 20 minutes to the city too if you look around.

Existing house or empty lot?

I'm looking in the near future so would be keen to know where to look.

Come work in Perth, if you're handy with web dev and don't mind learning some GIS skills I might be able to get you an interview :)
