In Sydney, the exclusive eastern suburbs have a lion’s share of the most popular streets, in Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills dominate, in Brisbane, the inner city suburbs bordered by the Brisbane River are highly sought-after and in Melbourne, many of the blue chips also areas dominate.
So what is motivating buyers in searching for their perfect street?
