Four homes in Canberra and Goulburn for sale right now

In light of the news that the capital’s lockdown will once again be extended, we’re dedicating this issue to the glorious properties on the market and home, sweet homes, tucked away in suburbia that evoke a sense of wanderlust.

I know what you’re thinking: ‘But, we can’t even travel!’ However, that emotion that can be found when we retreat into our own homes or homes that we dream to own one day.

That feeling is what got us through months of lockdown after all – waking up on a misty Canberra morning and watching the fog settle from the comfort of bed, sipping a hot cuppa on the verandah and looking out to the opposite reserve with all its wildlife commotion, or sinking into a good book (or Allhomes magazine) in the courtyard where the sun hits just right at noon.

Boot up the Allhomes app and browse through these new homes on the market, which you can virtually inspect via agents offering pre-recorded video tours.
