Find the top real estate agents in Hobart

Hobart feels like a compact capital where historic city character meets coastal lifestyle. Inner-city buyers tend to be downsizers and professionals drawn to terrace houses and apartment living close to restaurants and the waterfront, while middle and outer suburbs attract families chasing newer homes, school catchments and more backyard space. Median prices have edged up gently, up 4.0% on the year to $705,000, the highest level in three years, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in September 2022.

Homes are selling in a median of 29 days, materially faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in three years. A major hospital redevelopment and steady growth in CBD-based employment are sustaining city centre demand, while improved road connections across the Derwent and a stronger profile for waterfront living are lifting interest on the Eastern Shore and coastal Kingborough. Transaction activity has ticked up, up 7.5% on the year.

The average commission rate is 2.30% (around $16,000 on a median-priced home). In Hobart, a compact central market and consistent demand can allow for competitive fees, while more dispersed markets often charge higher rates to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When assessing real estate agents in Hobart, prioritise local knowledge and experience and a broad reach. 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.
