Aussie here. Similar, we’re a bit higher but it’s about the same. I will highlight one difference between the US and Oceania - our currencies are at least a third less than the USD. So $150k in NZ is probably closer to $100k and in Aus it’s $110k.

Yea, I thinking of jumping the ditch in the next year. Housing is ridiculous here in nz, until that gets fixed it's not a very attractive place to live if you're trying to build wealth

  Don’t come to Australia for better/cheaper housing. We have the triple threat of a runaway housing market, shoddy developers, and weaponised NIMBYs; we have a fledgling homelessness crisis and impotent leadership, so it’s not going to get better soon.

    We've got that and more!

    Take anything bad about Australia and it's about 20-100% worse in NZ. I can't think of a single improvement. Look at migration patterns, people are voting with their feet. NZ is the one with the incompetent government.
