There is a number of areas which are currently affordable, but also there's a lot of up-and-coming type areas.

I lived in Sydney for a short period of time.

I was able to look at up-and-coming areas many years ago, areas like Erskineville, St Peter's,

I look at similar areas here to Newcastle in terms of infrastructure, redevelopment, rezoning.

So we look at those sort of areas which are going to become popular and are affordable now.

So you can buy a property that's $50,000, $100,000 less in the adjoining suburb.

I guess it depends on budget.

There's a number of areas at the moment which we'd be looking at.

You've got Mount Hutton, Cardiff, Walls End, Glendale.

They're some of the better valued areas.

Fletcher is another area as well that's a more established area where you can get a more modern property and plenty of new areas that are up and coming as well.
