Find the top real estate agents in Capital Region

The Capital Region, also known as Capital Country, mixes high country resorts, historic highland towns and broad grazing country, so sellers should picture a diverse buyer pool. The Snowy Mountains towns of Jindabyne and Thredbo draw seasonal visitors and short-stay investors, while Southern Highlands centres like Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale attract buyers after garden-friendly blocks and heritage cottages. Service hubs such as Goulburn and Queanbeyan play an important role for families and professionals who value local hospitals, schools and commute options to the national capital. This variety influences where demand concentrates across the region. Median prices have edged up gently, up 2.4% on the year to $845,000, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in March 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 56 days, faster than a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 39% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Recent improvements to major road links and stronger regional health and education services are encouraging longer-term relocations, and remote work is supporting interest from buyers who prioritise space and character over inner-city convenience. The Snowy Mountains support a seasonal market of part-time residents and investors, lifting demand for alpine and lakeside properties at particular times. At the local level, clear pocket differences matter: well-known heritage pockets such as Berrima and Burradoo appeal to buyers after village charm and well-presented homes, while Yass and Murrumbateman attract buyers seeking affordable rural acreage close to regional services.

The average commission rate is 2.14% (around $18,000 on a median-priced home). Real estate agents in the Capital Region typically set rates a little higher than in major cities because campaigns can run longer and agents need broader marketing reach across a dispersed buyer base. Picking an agent with local knowledge and experience matters in a region where buyers range from seasonal visitors and short-stay investors to families and downsizers. 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.
