Find the top real estate agents in The Hills

The Hills, also known as Hills District, is a firmly family-focused suburban area with a mix of established brick-and-tile streets and newer estate neighbourhoods. Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills are established family suburbs where school zones and conventional layouts matter most, while The Ponds, Kellyville and Kellyville Ridge show the newer-estate appeal that younger families prize. Median prices have been broadly flat, up 1.8% on the year to $1,680,000, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in July 2024.

Homes are selling in a median of 32 days, faster than a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 55% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ The Sydney Metro northwest has become a sustained influence around Bella Vista, Kellyville and Rouse Hill, while Norwest's business hub keeps weekday demand steady and local council investment in parks and shopping precincts is giving a modest boost to family-oriented streets.

Local real estate agents in The Hills 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 6% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $2,350,000 sits 39.9% above the broader area median of $1,680,000, 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 27 days, 5 days faster than the area's typical 32 days, converting 64.5% of their listings into a successful sale, 12.4 percentage points ahead of the area's 52.1%.

The average commission rate is 1.66% (around $28,000 on a median-priced home). In metro suburbs like The Hills, higher property values and denser competition can allow for tighter margins, while regional markets often see higher rates 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.
