Unless they're dot com multi-millionaires, it is several different shades of not easy. I'm up on the Sunshine Coast, and even the lower end of the Coast is no longer vaguely affordable. Up where I am it's still reasonable (for definitions of reasonable that include $350k for a starter house on a small lot with no view.) The TINY lot at the end of my block, barely big enough for a parked car and a single-wide, but with a great view, is asking $250k for the lot alone. No septic (and no room for a field, so you'll have to install your own treatment system), and water and electrical pulled to the lot line.
