1）Suburb == 郊区
投资澳洲房产在选房前大家会对有意向的区有个大概的了解。澳洲各城市内按区划分，即suburb，所以看到郊区这个词一定不要觉得就十分偏远或乡土。离工作地点的远近、周边学校及环境等都是选择目标区域首要考虑的条件。
2）Off-the-plan/Established Property == 期房/现房
现房物业即established property一般都比较容易理解。Off-the-plan就是澳洲房产对期房和楼花的统称，即已有图纸和规划，但还未完成的房地产项目。
3）Auction/Private Sales == 拍卖/私人出售
拍卖Auction和私人买卖Private sales是澳洲最常见的两种物业出售方式。拍卖的物业会有一个固定的拍卖会时间，有意购买的买家可以在拍卖会之前去看房，了解物业情况，再在拍卖当天去出价。在拍卖会上出价最高的买家将获得此房，并现场签订购房合同。私人买卖则没有一个固定的出售日期，任何时候买家都可以向房东出价，如果房东对买家的出价满意就可以签订售房合同，完成出售过程。
4）unit，apartment，house，townhouse
这是澳洲房产常见的几种建筑类型:Unit是单元房，通常是占地面积较小的独栋房屋，一般只有一层。Apartment即国内所说的公寓，通常建在人口较密集的居住区，有七八层的低密度公寓，也有40多层以上的高层公寓。一般高层的公寓都有安保系统，有的还带健身房、游泳池等设施。Townhouse指联排别墅，联排别墅一般是一排墙并墙互相挨着的两层小别墅。一般联排别墅项目都有几个或者十几个外观统一的小别墅，坐落在相对独立的小区，有自己的公共花园。House就是中国人常说的别墅，独门独院，通常还有自己的车道和前后花园，占地至少300平方米以上。
5) Mortgage loan抵押贷款
大多数澳洲人或投资者在购买物业时都需要申请贷款，澳洲当地的商业银行和贷款经纪人都可以提供这项服务。贷款利率根据机构和类型的不同都有不同，具体情况可以咨询银行或经纪人。澳洲房贷一般可以拿到房价的80%左右，最长年限为30年。
6）Stamp duty印花税
在澳洲买房都要缴纳印花税，这项税种由州和领地政府征收，每个州的征收数额都不同，在购买房地产时由买家支付。购买物业的价格、签订购房合同的时间、购房者是否可以享受澳洲政府的减免都会影响需要缴纳的印花税的数额，一般从2000澳元到房价的3%不等。
7）Rebate返款 Rebate返款是很多朋友在买房时会迷惑的一部分。返款一般是中介或者开发商为了鼓励购房者买房给出的优惠条件。通常返款有两种原因，一是开发商为了促进项目的销售，给出的促销优惠。同时，开发商当然不希望他们的项目还没建好就在市场上贬值，所以他们会给返款作为优惠条件，而不是将楼盘降价销售。有些情况下，返款来自销售中介。这里是因为销售中介没有权利改变房屋的合同价格，所以只能够以返款的形式将促销优惠发给客户。
