Find the top real estate agents in Southern Tablelands

The Southern Tablelands is a mixed rural and village market where long-established service towns sit alongside lifestyle blocks and small farms. Goulburn acts as the major regional centre with broader services and government-linked employment, while Queanbeyan attracts buyers looking for commuter convenience to the national capital; smaller centres such as Yass and Braidwood are defined by heritage cottage stock and cafe-lined main streets, and Murrumbateman and Bungendore draw weekend buyers and those interested in small-scale agriculture and acreage living. Median prices have edged up gently, up 3.4% on the year to $755,000. The median sits just off the cycle high reached in June 2026.

Recent shifts are quietly reshaping demand across the Southern Tablelands, with ongoing improvements to the Hume Highway corridor and targeted local road works influencing commuting patterns and buyer confidence, and a steady flow of remote-capable professionals looking for larger blocks and more privacy. Homes are selling in a median of 50 days, much the same pace as a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 42% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Upgrades to health and schooling services in the larger towns are supporting longer-term family moves, while small-scale cellar-door operations and lifestyle agriculture keep interest in acreage parcels.

Real estate agents in the Southern Tablelands 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 10% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $920,000 sits 21.9% above the broader area median of $755,000, 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 42 days, 8 days faster than the area's typical 50 days, converting 70.9% of their listings into a successful sale, 11.9 percentage points ahead of the area's 59.0%.

The average commission rate is 2.13% (around $16,000 on a median-priced home). These rates often increase 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.
