FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.
FairSquare's model rates Deakin, Australian Capital Territory 7.7 out of 10 (Steady Buy) as of May 2026.
Deakin's prime inner-south location, just five kilometres from the CBD, commands consistent demand from high-income professionals within Canberra. This structural demand, amplified by low supply and an exceptional 0.8% vacancy rate, underpins strong 7.5% annual capital appreciation and stable rental returns. Constrained supply means downward price pressure is structurally limited. Depth of owner-occupier demand creates a reliable price floor through cycle downturns.
The median price is derived, not estimated. Every number on this page traces back to the model's proprietary yield surface — calibrated for each part of the country and resolved against distance from CBD. The price falls out of the formula.
