Tops homes to inspect in Canberra and surrounds this weekend

There is a familiar rhythm to a Canberra Saturday.

It often begins with a crisp morning at the local farmers’ market, sporting activities or a favourite neighbourhood cafe, followed by that quintessential weekend ritual: the open home circuit.

With the 2026 market showing a renewed sense of confidence and “lifestyle” once again topping the priority list for buyers, this weekend’s lineup feels particularly inspired.

It’s heritage charm outside and contemporary cool inside at this cosy cottage in Queanbeyan.
