Find the top real estate agents in Southern Tablelands

The Southern Tablelands sits between established regional service centres and long-running rural landscapes, so sellers should expect a mix of buyers. Goulburn operates as the regional centre with its defining heritage terrace stock and family-friendly suburbs such as Kingsdale and Goulburn North drawing traditional owner-occupiers, while the major master-planned community of Googong and the Queanbeyan corridor have become a significant commuter zone attracting younger families and public sector professionals. Newer freestanding homes and townhouse-style properties in those corridors tend to appeal to buyers seeking lifestyle with reasonable travel times. Median prices have edged up gently, up 4.2% on the year to $750,000, the highest level in five years, and the median has matched the prior peak set in April 2026.

Recent shifts are shaping where demand lands across the Tablelands, with a steady flow of tree-changers into the Murrumbateman and Yass acreage belt and growing interest in the quieter village pockets around Braidwood and Bungendore from buyers seeking character homes and short-stay income potential. Homes are selling in a median of 49 days, faster than a year ago, and auctions are clearing at 45% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Improvements to local road links and a gradual lift in school and sporting infrastructure in suburbs like Jerrabomberra and Royalla are supporting stronger family enquiry in those precincts.

Real estate agents in the Southern Tablelands vary in size and focus, so choosing an agent who understands the local mix matters. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 10% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $950,000 sits 26.7% above the broader area median of $750,000, 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 43 days, 6 days faster than the area's typical 49 days, converting 71.9% of their listings into a successful sale, 8.9 percentage points ahead of the area's 63.0%.

The average commission rate is 2.16% (around $16,000 on a median-priced home). In a market like the Southern Tablelands, these rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate.
