104/181 Sutherland Cres, Taylor ACT 2913
Two-bed, two-bath, two-car apartment | Oversized 42sqm balcony | New 2024 build | Strong rental yield potential | High strata levies
This unit stands out for its generous proportions. A 118sqm total footprint, including a 42sqm balcony, is rare for a two-bedroom apartment. Most comparable stock in the area is significantly more compact, so this feels more like a townhouse in terms of space. The dual car spaces add further utility, appealing strongly to professional couples or downsizers who want low-maintenance living without sacrificing room. Its position opposite a primary school and near bus routes makes it particularly practical for small families or investors targeting long-term tenants.
The quarterly strata levy of $943 is a notable holding cost that will impact net yield. While the rental estimate of $580–$600 per week suggests a gross return near 5.8%, the high body corporate fees narrow the margin. The property’s value may also be influenced by the mix of single-level and split-level units within the same development; single-level layouts typically attract broader buyer appeal, which could support stronger resale interest. The 2024 build and FTTP connection add modern convenience, but the lack of confirmed floor level means light and privacy should be verified.

Market Insight
Taylor, ACT is a compact suburb with a professional and trade-oriented demographic profile. Demand is driven by first-home buyers using the federal 5% Deposit Scheme and by established professionals on high household incomes. The median house price is about $1.03–$1.06 million, with annual growth between -0.3% and +0.6% across data sources; units have softened 1.5% to $675,000. Houses rent for a median $780 per week and units yield 5.5% at $610, with properties averaging 63 days on market. Around 141 house sales occurred in the past year. Future momentum rests on continued first-home buyer incentives and unit rental yields, but constraints are material: 93% of owners hold mortgages, amplifying rate sensitivity, and the wider 2026 market shows sellers exceeding buyers by the largest margin since 2013, signalling price correction.
