My Sister in Law is coming over to stay in Australia for 9 months. Sydney to be sort of exact (she mentioned an area of Sydney that she'll be working at but I forgot...)
Can you local guys give her any suggestions to look for housing? She's found a single room to stay but they wanted over $200 aus per week. I though that was a bit on the high side (though I might have been off) and suggested she look around a bit more.
Thanks
Alexander
These might help to have a look around, dont know if they have what your after but they might help to evaluate the going rates. I live 500 kilometers from Sydney but grew up there, the rental prices are pretty high compared to other parts of the country. Hope that helps a little

That rent sounds about standard for Sydney. Tell her to skip Sydney, NSW and come to Brisbane, QLD instead. Much nicer here. :) In all seriousness though, definately look around while she has the time before coming here, get firm agreements sorted with the real estate agents if she finds something with a good value for rental if she can too. You can email the real estates to start that process I believe. Grant has listed the better sites above that will hopefully give you some assistance.

$200 aud a week is actually pretty cheap for a lot of Sydney. In some parts of the city that wouldn't get you a tin dunny, never mind an actual flat!
Agreed . I live on the north side of Sydney and apartment rentals would be more than double that but of course that buys you more than a room.
My son lives out near Bexley and pays around A$120, I think, I could ask him if he knows of anywhere around his place that is in that price range if you want.
Thanks a bunch guys. Maybe it helped her out...maybe it didn't we'll see. I'll let you know though.
