Find the top real estate agents in Brisbane

Brisbane wears a mix of characters across its rings. The Brisbane CBD remains the city's dominant employment hub and draws buyers who prioritise short commutes and apartment living. Inner-ring suburbs such as the Inner East, Inner North and Inner West are defined by character housing, cafe strips and renovation demand, while the Bayside and Moreton Bay areas serve as an established coastal lifestyle option for downsizers and weekend-focused households, and Ipswich and Logan are the principal family and new estate corridors where space and school catchments shape purchase decisions. Median prices have grown solidly, up 14.8% on the year to $1,000,000, the highest level in five years.

Recent transport and placemaking changes are reshaping how people value location. The Cross River Rail project and related upgrades are improving access between the inner suburbs and the CBD, a steady influence on buyer interest in inner-ring properties, and there is growing interest in bayside amenity and Redland City's coastal areas from people seeking a more lifestyle-focused move, with interstate interest supporting demand across both inner and outer markets. Homes are selling in a median of 28 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the slowest pace in two years. Auctions are clearing at 60% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 17.1% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. The median has matched the prior peak set in August 2026.

The average commission rate is 2.41% (around $24,000 on a median-priced home). In capital city markets like Brisbane, higher property values and denser competition tend to allow tighter margins; in regional Queensland, rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. Local real estate agents in Brisbane rely on local knowledge and experience and broad reach to connect homes with likely buyers. 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.
