Hi all
What are peoples thoughts on Canberra as a city to invest in? My thinking is the local market is probably going to be a bit flat for the next 12 months or so with public service growth stalled or going backwards...so will hopefully be able to pick up something cheapish and then sit on it and wait for the public service to expand again to stimulate demand for property.
Meanwhile, rental yields across most of Canberra seem to be pretty high with a very low vacancy rate and transient population.
I have about 400k to spend.
One thing I have looked into is a 2brm apartment in Bruce given the uni population and relative proximity to the city & belconnen, however would I be better off looking further out and aiming for a house?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
