Sydney's property market is so overheated prospective buyers are paying $2,000 fees just to view blocks of land that are 84km from the city centre.
Developers Lendlease and Mirvac are both selling house and land packages, from $800,000, on the city's south-western outskirts.
And competition is fierce.
While expensive, basic houses in new, master-planned suburbs are marginally more affordable than Sydney's record $1.147million median house price, which increased by 11.2 per cent during the first four months of 2021, CoreLogic data showed.
But many of these outer Sydney house and land packages are pricier than Melbourne's mid-point house price of $869,676.
