ACT Remainder - Majura is a smaller community of 161 — about 4% of the Australian Capital Territory suburb median (3,808) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Household income of $112,632/year is 9% below the Australian Capital Territory median of $123,916, typically translating into lower entry prices and a tenant base more sensitive to rent increases. Weekly rent of $380 covers just 36% of the median $4,625/month mortgage repayment, leaving a $2,978/month gap — investors should only pursue this suburb with a clear capital-growth thesis and sufficient external income to fund the shortfall. At 8 km from the Canberra CBD, ACT Remainder - Majura sits inside the high-demand inner ring — properties here compete directly with the city's employment, transport and amenity networks. Only 46% of dwellings are separate houses (vs 71% state median), so this is a unit-heavy market where body-corporate decisions and strata supply meaningfully shape investor returns.
