Every week we chat about Australia's major property markets, but how does Canberra compare and what are its growth prospects? In this episode we speak with Canberran Claire Corby, one of the only buyers agents to work exclusively in Canberra. We discuss the interesting caveats of owning property in Australia's capital city, how has Canberra’s market held up during Covid and what direction is trending towards; will it boom or will it bust?
