Why Buying Property in Australia Is Becoming Out of Reach — and How Thailand Opens the Door Again

By Sean Prosser — Helping Australians own their slice of Thailand


The Harsh Reality of the Australian Property Market

It’s no secret — buying property in Australia is getting harder by the year.
The median house price across our capital cities now sits at around $1.07 million, and even units average over $718,000.

For many would-be investors, that’s simply out of reach. The upfront deposits, stamp duty, and rising interest rates have turned what was once an achievable goal into a long-term dream.

Even experienced investors are asking the same question: “Is there still value left in the Australian market?”


A Smarter Path — Owning in Thailand

Now imagine this instead:
For under $200,000 AUD, you could own a fully furnished condo in Thailand — often walking distance to the beach, with resort facilities, rental returns, and full foreign ownership options.

That’s not a timeshare. That’s not a fraction.
That’s yours.

The lower entry price means:

  • Less upfront risk
  • Easier diversification
  • Faster cash flow potential
  • And room to grow a genuine property portfolio again

Think Long-Term: Build a Portfolio, Not Just One Asset

Here’s the perspective most investors miss:
Over the next 5–10 years, for the same amount of money it would take to buy one property in Australia, you could own 4–5 condos or villas across Thailand — each in different locations, giving you exposure to Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, and Hua Hin.

That’s not just lifestyle diversification — that’s smart investment strategy.

You spread your risk across markets, currencies, and property types, while positioning yourself in a region seeing rising tourism, infrastructure growth, and long-term foreign investment.
