Find the top real estate agents in Brighton

Brighton sits on the northern edge of Greater Hobart and is a mix of established commuter suburbs, riverside family pockets and quieter semi-rural hinterland, with Old Beach and Herdsmans Cove carrying the riverfront appeal while Pontville keeps a small village feel and Bridgewater and Gagebrook providing more established, value-oriented options. It attracts a broad buyer mix: families chasing larger blocks and newer house-and-land layouts, renovators looking for character in older suburbs, and downsizers drawn to low-maintenance riverfront living. Median prices have been broadly flat, down 0.8% on the year to $590,000, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in June 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 30 days, materially faster than a year ago. Transaction activity has been running sharply higher, up 29.9% on the year, the highest transaction count in five years. Recent upgrades to the major transport corridor through Brighton are making commutes easier for people working in Hobart, and growing residential releases on the fringes are shifting buyer interest toward newer, low-maintenance house-and-land options, while established suburbs continue to attract renovators and investors when properties are well presented. Rental demand is steady across the area, so well presented homes tend to attract interest from both owner-occupiers and investors.

Real estate agents in Brighton often emphasise local knowledge and experience and have a focused understanding of the local market, which matters when buyers are weighing lot size, river access and renovation potential. The top 3 local agents handled 19% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $560,000 sits 5.1% below the broader area median of $590,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 30 days, roughly matching the area's pace.

The average commission rate is 1.98% (around $12,000 on a median-priced home). Rates in fringe and growth areas often reflect longer campaign periods and a need for broader marketing reach to connect with the right buyers across both established pockets and newer releases. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate. Compare their specific track record in your local area, their recent sales volume, and their experience with properties similar to yours.
