What makes selling in Cheltenham unique?
Cheltenham sits in Melbourne's south-east and blends freestanding family homes with townhouses and low-rise apartment options, offering a range of housing to suit different lifestyles. The suburb attracts a broad buyer pool, from young professionals and couples seeking easy access to the city to families and downsizers looking for garden space and convenient local amenities.
Different properties in Cheltenham appeal to different audiences, so an agent with suburb-specific experience can tailor pricing, presentation and marketing to the type of property and the buyers most likely to be interested. Such agents understand which features tend to matter across the suburb's housing range and can help position a home to reach the right audience without relying on a single approach.

What to pay your Cheltenham agent
In Victoria, real estate agent commission rates typically range from 0.5% to 4.95%. Our data shows the commission rates in Cheltenham average around 1.72%, or approximately $16,300 on a median-priced home.
Real estate commission rates are not regulated, meaning agents can set their own fees. Knowing the average commission in your suburb gives you a useful benchmark when comparing proposals.
Agent commissions are usually negotiable. While commission is an important consideration, it shouldn't be the only factor when choosing an agent. Instead, look for agents with local expertise who can justify their rate and clearly explain how they plan to maximise your sale outcome.
