Dame Jacinda Ardern, the former prime minister of New Zealand, is moving to Australia, particularly looking for homes in the northern beaches of Sydney. Reports have indicated that she and her husband, Clarke Gayford, have been seen exploring properties in areas such as Curl Curl and Freshwater, with median home prices in Curl Curl soaring to $4.1 million and $3.9 million in Freshwater, reflecting a growth of 6 percent year-on-year in these regions.

This move comes after a period of significant travel for the Ardern family, which had been residing in the United States where Jacinda Ardern worked at Harvard University. A spokesperson mentioned that the family's interim base will be Australia as they explore work opportunities and enjoy the convenience of being closer to New Zealand. The decision may also facilitate better family time for their daughter, Neve, by allowing them more visits to their homeland.

Jacinda Ardern's transition from New Zealand’s leadership to her new phase in Australia reflects personal choices shaped by professional aspirations and the evolving needs of her family. As she steps into this new living arrangement, it will be interesting to see how her public presence develops in Australia and whether she might engage with the political landscape there as her career unfolds post-premiership.
