While distance is not the only factor, this helps some homebuyers who work in the city to make a decision about how far out they are willing to go in order to find a home they want. Crime is also a very big factor for many people with some suburbs notorious for their crime. This would also affect the median prices of some suburbs listed above.
With the new stamp duty threshold sitting at $430,000, I would think that many of these suburbs will experience a growth in house prices in the coming month.
