Agent View

Having spent more than 20 years around the construction sector in the ACT, I’ve seen many changes in the housing market. This includes a change in who the apartment buyer is. 

We’ve seen the world-class NewActon​ precinct, the emergence of the “new” Braddon and the much-promised Kingston Foreshore come to life. These have all been inspired by Canberra’s changing population and the way we want to live.

We’ve seen first-home buyers trading size for amenity and, of course, the largest-growing sector is the downsizer. Just because you downsize, doesn’t mean you want less inclusion and there are many great options available now from Barton to Belconnen and Greenway to Gungahlin. Who wouldn’t want to be close to retail and dining, as well as transport? And no more mowing lawns on weekends!

The Canberra real estate market has always been unique. We have matured significantly over the last two decades and now enjoy world-class amenity and architecture. Our local economy has much to offer and, as our Prime Minister says, “what a time to be an Australian!”
