PropertyEye tracks live listings in Sydney and Brisbane today — Canberra pages are built from published auction results (2021–2026), our price model and weekly clearance data. Live Canberra tracking is on the roadmap.
Price model — what the model says a typical home here achieves at auction
| Configuration | Model estimate | Range | Comparable sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-bed house | $1.27M | $1.14M–$1.41M | 58 |
| 4-bed house | $1.48M | $1.27M–$1.7M | 58 |

Modelled from 146,492 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Canberra cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty. Estimates from comparable auction results — not valuations or financial advice.

Schools in Watson — located in the suburb (ACARA 2025)
In-suburb enrolments 1,044 · 5-year trend +4.1% (stable) — total across the schools below; family demand signal, openings/closures counted

Schools whose ADDRESS is in Watson — residents are often zoned to schools in neighbouring suburbs too; check the actual zone for any address at education.act.gov.au (priority enrolment areas). ICSEA is the socio-educational advantage of a school's community (national average ~1000) — a demographic measure, not a quality or results score.
Getting to the CBD — peak, from the suburb centre
About ~37 min door-to-CBD: 23 min walk to Phillip Avenue (light rail) + ~3 min typical peak wait + 11 min scheduled ride.
Transport Canberra GTFS (light rail) (open data) — scheduled weekday services, rail family only (buses excluded); walk = suburb centre to nearest station, crow-flies ×1.3 at 80 m/min; wait = half AM-peak headway capped at 6 min; ride = median scheduled time to the CBD hub. Estimates for the suburb CENTRE — your block differs.
Stock history — homes listed for sale in Watson, archived Domain pages
Domain archive (monthly) 2019-12-15 → 2025-12-10 · 13 monthly points
13 monthly points from archived Domain search pages, 2019-12-15 → 2025-12-10 (Domain-only — systematically lower than the total market; archive coverage has gaps and they stay visible as gaps). Historical record, not a live count — live Melbourne tracking is on the roadmap.
Auction market pace — Canberra weekly clearance
Benchmark series (SQM Research): week to 2026-10-03 — 39.4% of 33 scheduled auctions. Our own tracking (withdrawn counted): week to 2026-10-03 — 45% of 31 scheduled. Lower clearance generally means more room for buyers to negotiate.
