Find the top real estate agents in Eastern Suburbs

The Eastern Suburbs blends beachside lifestyle with established inner-city living, so sellers should expect a mix of buyer types. Bondi and Bondi Beach are the main coastal draw for people after coastal amenity and café culture, while Paddington and Woollahra retain terrace streets that appeal to buyers seeking period charm and proximity to small high streets with cafes and independent shops. Median prices are broadly flat, down 1.2% on the year to $1,650,000. The median sits just off the cycle high reached in February 2026.

Recent shifts are reshaping where demand lands within the suburb grouping: improved public transport links and better local amenity have lifted interest around Randwick, Kensington and Kingsford from students, medical staff and young professionals, while retail and dining renewals have kept Bondi Junction and Double Bay as strong local retail centres. Conversations about coastal resilience and insurance are nudging some purchasers toward higher-elevation pockets such as Dover Heights and Vaucluse, shifting buyer priorities. Homes are selling in a median of 26 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the slowest pace in three years. Auctions are clearing at 56% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Transaction activity has been broadly steady, down 5.0% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years.

Real estate agents in the Eastern Suburbs offer a range of local knowledge and experience. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 5% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $4,575,000 sits at multiples of the broader area median of $1,650,000, which could suggest they specialise at the premium end of the market, worth bearing in mind if your home sits closer to the area median. Their listings sold in a median of 22 days, 4 days faster than the area's typical 26 days, converting 72.1% of their listings into a successful sale, 6.4 percentage points ahead of the area's 65.7%.

The average commission rate is 1.58% (around $26,000 on a median-priced home). Rates can vary across the Eastern Suburbs, with agents who work at the higher-value harbourside end often charging more to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing 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.
