The growing relocation of federal public servants outside the ACT is becoming "a disaster" for Canberra's property market, leading real estate agents say.
The proportion of Australian Public Service staff based in the capital dropped to a decade-low of 35.4 per cent in 2024-25, as remote work becomes increasingly popular.
Archer real estate managing director Andrew Early said his agency had noticed a decrease in the number of people moving to Canberra over the past two years, while an increasing number moved interstate.
