How these suburbs were chosen

A mix of (a) development hotspots named in the ACT land release program or active master-planned estates (Molonglo Valley, Ginninderry, Googong); (b) growth suburbs with the strongest recent 12-month or five-year house value growth in 2025-26 data; and (c) established family and lifestyle suburbs across different districts and price points. Medians come from Domain (Dec qtr 2025, via Civium) or OpenAgent (June 2026 / trailing 3 months), so they are not strictly like-for-like.
