From a Belconnen apartment to a Gungahlin townhouse, a Tuggeranong family home, a mid-century gem in the Inner South or a brand-new home in the Molonglo Valley, Canberra has every kind of property. Whatever you own, you can sell it privately with PLBO and keep the commission! Here's what buyers look for in each.
Family houses
Canberra house buyers want warmth, light and space: north-facing living, efficient heating, insulation, a good EER, a sunny backyard, a double garage and a short trip to schools and the town centre. Lead with your best living-area shot and use Generate with AI for a description you can personalise. Follow how to sell your house privately in ACT.
Suggested package: Signature for standard homes, and Royal for family homes.
Character and architect-designed homes
Canberra's mid-century modern homes, Inner North and Inner South cottages, and architect-designed homes have devoted fans! Show the design details, the established gardens, the walk to local shops and the lake, and any sensitive upgrades.
Suggested package: Royal or Vertex.
Apartments and townhouses (owners corporation)
- Contract documents: the units plan and the owners corporation certificate, prepared by your conveyancer.
- Share the details buyers love: levies, the sinking fund, rules and recent minutes.
- Highlights: light rail and town-centre access, balconies, views, parking and storage.
- Pricing: your PLBO property comparables report shows recent sales of similar units nearby.
Canberra's unit median was $523,265 in the June quarter 2026 (Domain), an accessible price point that attracts first-home buyers, downsizers and investors.
Suggested package: Signature.
Vacant land and new-suburb blocks
Buyers want the block size, the crown lease purpose clause, services, building envelope and any design requirements. Add a site plan and street photos.
Suggested package: Essentials.
Dual occupancies and larger blocks
Big blocks in established suburbs, and homes with granny flats or dual occupancies, attract families and investors alike. Share the approvals from your building file and any development potential your conveyancer confirms.
Suggested package: Royal.
Tenanted investment property
- Tell your tenant early and follow ACT tenancy rules for showing the property.
- Choose your buyer: investors love Canberra's steady rental demand; owner-occupiers want vacant possession.
- Tax: capital gains tax normally applies, and your conveyancer adjusts land tax at settlement.
Suggested package: Signature.
Deceased estates
- Authority: probate usually comes first.
- Transparency: your PLBO property comparables report plus written offers show beneficiaries how the price was reached.
- Presentation: clean and simple, with the required reports ordered early.
