Five homes from around Australia that cost $1 million

As Nine recently reported, Aussies are spending north of $1 million on homes at a rate never witnessed before.

According to the latest data from CoreLogic, of the 596,733 homes sold over the past year, 23.8 per cent changed hands for $1 million or more.

It’s a staggering figure – up on the previous 12 months – and highlights the levels of housing value growth the real estate sector has witnessed in the past 18 months.

Although the prospect of spending a little or a lot more than one million big ones on a home is a daunting or even implasuible notion for some, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t still good properties out there at the top end of the six-figure or beginning of the seven-figure mark.

Here are five homes from around the nation that cost $1 million, or a touch less.

Location, location, location. It’s an adage as old as the real estate game itself. And, in the context of this fixer-upper set smack-back in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, it couldn’t reign more true.

Sure, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home in Darlinghurst is in dire need of a makeover. But, for a bona fide home minutes away from The Emerald City’s beating heart, we reckon it’s still good buying.
