Find the top real estate agents in Far West

The Far West is a large, remote outback zone centred on Broken Hill, which acts as the region's dominant service centre and cultural anchor. Median prices have been running hot, up 17.8% on the year to $245,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained. Buyers are a mix of long-standing pastoral families, retirees seeking space and affordability, and a modest stream of lifestyle and renovation buyers drawn by the area's character. The median is 2.1% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 56 days, much the same pace as a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 91% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Transaction activity has ticked up, up 14.6% on the year. Mutawintji's national park, Silverton's small heritage art precinct and the remote tourism draws of Tibooburra and White Cliffs are creating a steady, seasonal lift in visitor interest that supports short-stay lettings. For sellers this means location and type matter: in Broken Hill, established residential pockets with character housing remain the most liquid, while Silverton and White Cliffs attract niche buyers willing to invest in renovation or tourism ventures. In very small towns such as Bourke, Wilcannia and Menindee, expect a more selective pool made up of local workers, pastoral connections and occasional lifestyle purchasers rather than broad investor interest.

Real estate agents in the Far West tend to rely on local knowledge and experience, which matters because a small number of firms handle most local sales. The top 3 local agents handle the majority of sales, 61% of transactions over the past year. Their median sale of $250,000 sits 2.0% above the broader area median of $245,000. Their listings sold in a median of 39 days, 17 days faster than the area's typical 56 days, converting 77.2% of their listings into a successful sale, 5.2 percentage points ahead of the area's 72.0%.

The average commission rate is 3.24% (around $8,000 on a median-priced home). In remote markets such as the Far West, rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate.
