\u201cBridesmaid\u201d suburbs emerged in recent years due to uneven growth in the housing market, with average prices in some suburbs up to $1.5m lower than in \u201dbride\u201d suburbs, research shows.<\/p>\n

Other areas have simply flown under the radar of buyers and tenants for an extended time and the lower demand has kept prices and rents well below those in more trendy locations nearby.<\/p>\n

Apartment hunters who have their sights set on Concord can save more than $561,000 by looking one suburb over to Homebush West.<\/p>\n

And buyers looking to set up home in Cronulla could purchase a house in nearby Caringbah for up to $935,000 less.<\/p>\n
