In an interview with Canberra Times following the release of the 2026-27 ACT Budget, REIACT CEO Maria Edwards said the Institute welcomes the removal of stamp duty for first home buyers noting that this will help stimulate the economy given ACT’s first-time buyer cohort. However, Maria expressed her disappointment in the lack of incentives for investors, pointing out that the continued pressure on them will result in the decreased availability of rental properties in the Territory.

REIACT Members, following the 2026-27 ACT Budget released last night, we have prepared a summary of the key outcomes for you and our industry.

The ACT budget delivers several positive - and in some cases unexpected - outcomes for the real estate industry. One of the most welcome announcements is the decision to halve Lease Variation Charges, representing a significant outcome and one that aligns with advocacy undertaken by REIACT and industry stakeholders over an extended period. Make sure to read the latest REIACT Member Alert for more key takeaways.

In a recent interview with ABC Canberra, REIACT CEO Maria Edwards warned that there’s “not enough diversity” in the homes being approved in the ACT. With one-bedroom units already common in the ACT, Maria said building bigger two- and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses would be a better solution to its supply problem and provide more choices for people.
