About the market

The Canberra property market.

Home to the Australian federal government, Canberra’s property market is significantly influenced by government operations. The market history showed a steady and consistent growth in both median house prices and rental rates. The city’s unique layout, surrounded by natural reserves, restricts land availability for housing development, influencing property values.

Canberra’s commercial property market is one of the country’s most resilient, a nod to the office sector. The city’s vacancy rates have consistently remained low due to demand from government sectors and recent inclusion in the private sector.
