Strata fees of high rise (and some low and medium rise) apartments are often 7-12k per annum.

PPOR house owners – how does the average annual cost of owning your property compare to strata fees? Is it more or less expensive? Or is it somewhere within that range? (If so, is it on the upper or lower end of it?)

As strata fees of high rise apartments seem to be so expensive, I am curious about how much it costs to own a house.

If you feel compelled to do so, share the average annual costs for your home and what that money goes towards, eg, rates, etc.

Please and thank you!

G’day, folks! I’ve been to Melbourne and Ballarat during winter and found Ballarat to be the colder of the two.

Is the winter in Canberra comparable to that in either of those places? Canberra seems to have lower temperatures in winter, but how does it actually feel?
