State of the market
Australian Capital Territory in 2026.
Canberra is unique among Australian capitals, driven by public service employment, the highest-income demographic of any capital city, and the unusual leasehold land tenure system. After a soft 2024-2025 weighed by interest rates and federal hiring slowdowns, 2026 sees the market firm again. The ACT median house price sits around $980K, and rental yields are typically lower than other capitals because owner-occupier demand dominates.
