Housing in Hobart is more affordable than any other capital city in Australia.
The quality of housing is high, and a large selection is available from brand new homes to stately older mansions. Due to its stunning location, most Hobart homes have beautiful outlooks, with many affordable homes having a scenic view of the Derwent River, Mount Wellington or both.
