Find the top real estate agents in Northern Suburbs

The Northern Suburbs are a mix of established family streets and quieter riverside addresses, where Beecroft and Pennant Hills showcase tree-lined federation-era housing, Hunters Hill and Woolwich form a calmer cluster of riverside homes, and Macquarie Park provides a major employment and education hub that keeps steady demand for nearby apartments and townhouses. Median prices have seen a sharp pull-back, down 10.8% on the year to $1,182,000, the lowest level in five years, with the market finding a new level.

Recent shifts are shaping how sellers position properties, with steady densification around Macquarie Park and Meadowbank supporting more apartment-style buyers and improvements to train and bus links shortening commutes for professionals working in the city and local office precincts. Homes are selling in a median of 32 days, slower than a year ago, the slowest pace in three years. Auctions are clearing at 56% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ The median remains comfortably below the cycle high of April 2022. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 14.9% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years.

Real estate agents in the Northern Suburbs often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 7% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $2,336,000 sits 97.6% above the broader area median of $1,182,000, 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 30 days, 2 days faster than the area's typical 32 days, converting 61.4% of their listings into a successful sale, 10.5 percentage points ahead of the area's 50.9%.

The average commission rate is 1.48% (around $18,000 on a median-priced home). Commission rates reflect the length and scope of the listing campaign and the marketing reach required; in busier markets with more regular listings the rate tends to be lower, while in pockets that need a longer campaign and wider marketing reach, the rate can be higher. 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.
