Do you ever get an inkling to build? Perhaps you are feeling inspired by The Block, or maybe nothing is meeting your standards.
Well, there are opportunities to buy a block of land in Canberra.
Canberra is a growing place. While the attention is often focussed on upwards growth, for example mulit-unit developments, the nation’s capital is also undergoing significant outwards growth.
There’s an array of new suburbs in Canberra offering land opportunities such as Denman Prospect, Ginninderry and Taylor.
Not only are new suburbs a great place to secure a block of land, but there are also opportunities in established suburbs. Over the past two-and-a-half years, more than 900 former Mr Fluffy blocks have gone on the market, and have contributed to a rise in dual occupancies in the nation’s capital.
So if you are looking to build a home in Canberra, there’s no shortage of options.
Building a home doesn’t come cheap, but if you’re looking for a blank canvas to build your dream home on a budget, here’s a selection of blocks on the market in Canberra at the moment priced less than $500,000.
