The best mortgage brokers in Canberra for 2027 are Clarity Home Loans, CASA Mortgage Services, Loan Market Canberra, Trilogy Funding, JPI Finance, Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers, Inovayt, Mortgage Choice Gungahlin, Aussie Tuggeranong and Smartline Personal Mortgage Advisers. This list is part of our Canberra business services hub.
Canberra house prices are among the highest in Australia, with Domain reporting a median house price of just over $1 million in mid-2026, so the right loan structure matters. Many buyers are public servants with stable incomes, which lenders like, while others are self-employed contractors who need specialist lending.
ACT first home buyers may be eligible for the Home Buyer Concession Scheme, which can remove stamp duty for eligible purchases, and federal schemes can reduce deposit requirements. A good broker will explain how these interact with your loan.
This list of top mortgage brokers in Canberra covers local independents and national networks. For other buying costs, see our guide to stamp duty in the ACT and our list of conveyancers in Canberra.

We started from Canberra business directories, local review platforms and community recommendations, then checked each broker’s website, lender access and local presence. We favoured brokers with MFAA or FBAA membership, broad lender panels and consistent positive reviews. Read more about how we research and rank.
