If i stick to Sydney, my budget will be north of 500k, i've been looking at Oran Park, Edmondson Park and Middleton Grange, which have boomed well beyond my budget, and offer only small parcels of land (280-320), which I don't necessarily prefer.
The over supply of vacant land in these new estates is turning me off going ahead with this option, and I've since reconsidered H&L packages. Not to say its out of the question, i still monitor what's available, but i may need to look interstate if i want to find something affordable.
