Find the top real estate agents in Geelong

Geelong is a broad market that blends long-standing inner pockets of character with active new-growth suburbs and a strong coastal lifestyle fringe. Sellers in heritage-rich areas such as Newtown and Geelong West sit in an established market of period homes and walkable village amenities that attract professionals, downsizers and school-focused families, while Highton and Belmont are steady family suburbs with mature gardens and reputations for local schools. Median prices have edged up gently, up 7.5% on the year to $715,000, the highest level in three years, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in October 2022.

Homes are selling in a median of 28 days, materially faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in three years. Auctions are clearing at 59% over the past year⁽¹⁾, reflecting steady competition for local stock. The Armstrong Creek corridor and the newer estates around Charlemont and Mount Duneed remain a major source of supply and first-home buyer interest, while Waurn Ponds serves as a substantial tertiary and retail precinct anchored by Deakin University, and industrial and logistics activity around North Shore and Corio provides a steady employment base that supports rental demand across the region. Transaction activity has ticked up, up 6.8% on the year.

Real estate agents in Geelong typically emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 7% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $640,000 sits 10.5% below the broader area median of $715,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 22 days, 6 days faster than the area's typical 28 days, converting 77.5% of their listings into a successful sale, 17.9 percentage points ahead of the area's 59.6%.

The average commission rate is 1.75% (around $13,000 on a median-priced home). Rates in commuter and coastal markets often reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach, so compare what a fee covers as well as the headline rate. 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.
