Basements are extremely rare in Australia.
Two story houses are becoming much more common. Partly as land prices are rising sharply, compared with actual house cost. Not unusual for land to go into $700,000 and up, while single level house could be under $300,000 to $400,000. Having afforded the land similar house cost allows a much roomier home, also often a multi car garage at ground level, makes living space above desirable. Still it is also a bit status driven, and especially among recent Asian migrants. These double "palaces" are in common terms referred to as ".Mac Mansions" often built replacing older single level houses, and often occupying all the land with virtually no garden, while garden front and rear yards are/were to norm so far. Asian often wipe out all bushes and trees of established properties they buy leaving at most low flower garden edges.
