What makes selling in Kensington unique?
Kensington sits close to the Sydney CBD and combines compact modern apartments and units with pockets of older cottages and terraces. The suburb attracts a broad buyer pool, from university students and young city professionals to investors and downsizers, with buyers often drawn by low-maintenance living, reliable public transport and convenient local amenities.
Different properties in Kensington appeal to different audiences, so accurate pricing and targeted marketing are important. Agents with suburb-specific experience understand those distinctions and can tailor pricing, presentation and marketing to suit the type of property and the buyers most likely to be interested.

What to pay your Kensington agent
In New South Wales, real estate agent commission rates typically range from 0.5% to 4.71%. Our data shows the commission rates in Kensington average around 1.58%, or approximately $16,529 on a median-priced home.
Real estate commission rates are not regulated, meaning agents can set their own fees. Knowing the average commission in your suburb gives you a useful benchmark when comparing proposals.
Agent commissions are usually negotiable. While commission is an important consideration, it shouldn't be the only factor when choosing an agent. Instead, look for agents with local expertise who can justify their rate and clearly explain how they plan to maximise your sale outcome.
