What makes selling in St Ives unique?
St Ives on Sydney's Upper North Shore blends leafy streets of freestanding family homes with pockets of low-rise units and townhouses, offering options that range from generous garden space to lower-maintenance living. While it appeals to a broad range of buyers, families are an important part of the local market, often prioritising layout, outdoor space and convenient access to local schools and community facilities.
Different properties in St Ives can attract very different audiences, so agents with suburb-specific experience can tailor pricing, presentation and marketing to the strengths of each home. An experienced local agent understands these variations and can position a property to the buyers most likely to be interested by emphasising the features and presentation that matter in the area.

What to pay your St Ives 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 St Ives average around 1.64%, or approximately $41,125 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.
