Rents have really gone up here in Sydney in the last few years, too. We were evicted from our rental last year, where we were paying $305wk, because the landlord wanted to move back in.

We ended up buying a house instead, and since then rentals have increased and interest rates have decreased, which means we're paying less on our mortgage than we would be if we'd rented again. It's insane! We're sooo lucky we were able to buy, because we really couldn't afford to pay that sort of rent. I hope everything turns out okay for you.

Rents have really gone up here in Sydney in the last few years, too.

We were evicted from our rental last year, where we were paying $305wk, because the landlord wanted to move back in.
At that time, similar properties on the market were renting for about $400wk.

We ended up buying a house instead, and since then rentals have increased and interest rates have decreased, which means we’re paying less on our mortgage than we would be if we’d rented again.

It’s insane!

We’re sooo lucky we were able to buy, because we really couldn’t afford to pay that sort of rent.
I hope everything turns out okay for you.

By the way, I like the new look for your blog. :)

The rents in Dubai are the most aweful thing about living here. My company provides my flat so I am safe from the increase woes but then, with the global crisis, I don’t know when I’ll be told to pay for my own! *knocks on wood*
