Tasmanian housing prices, whether you are renting or buying, are amongst the lowest in Australia.  Houses in Tasmania’s capital, Hobart are, on average half the price of a home in Sydney.

You can affordably live in the inner city area, suburbs, beachside or in rural locations.  The State’s housing styles range from classic colonial Georgian to award-winning contemporary architecture.
