Except for gas everything here is cheaper from Melbourne. I can get a house at half the price!!!

I wish I could say the same for Portugal. I love that country so much, but the housing market is delusional.

House prices are really cheap on the Italian interior tho, where I am right now. Unfortunately for me, it's fucking Italy.

Hey flying to Portugal in a couple of hours. Houses seem much more expensive now.

During covid, house prices in New Zealand went up 25% in a single month!!

We need a time machine.

Going where? You're gonna have a great time, that country is something else. Also, SuperBock is the best beer.

Sometimes I remember when I had the chance to buy a house in 2017 but ended up rejecting the idea. I still cry to this day.

Lisbon. Loved it the first time and thought it was amazing. Bringing wifey after talking about it forever. Thanks for the beer tip, will try.

My dad talked my mum out of buying a piece of land next to their house for $50k AUD and now it's probably worth north of $750k AUD 20 years later. Thank-you dad!!! 🤣

If you're ever going for a third trip to Portugal, the Açores is the best option. I was there 5 months ago, those islands are so worth a visit.
