Your talking comfy, I am talking about shithouses like pic related being 1MM because they are near the central train line.

I know some shithole house in Doonside or around Blacktown in Sydney sold for over a million because of how close it was to the shopping centre and train station, and those are very poor drug addict areas filled with crime, and the house looked worse than some random shithole I found on Google maps in 2 minutes.

This is not worth more than 50k, yet there is a train station on the other side of the road from this so you can bet it could go for almost 1MM.

I don't care so much about living in the city either, I'd like to move out into a more cozy country area. The problem is Australia has no flyover states. Everything is build around these huge hub cities and all the suburbs directly surrounding them. Everyone is packed into these tiny dense cities, and you go beyond that and there is fuckall. Could get a cheap place, but you'd be doing hour long drives just to go grocery shopping, unless you are content eating whatever is at the servo station 20 mins down the road.

In the USA you don't have to live in a big city to be employed and still live close to things like a shopping centre or any infrastructure at all.
