Find the top real estate agents in Brisbane CBD

Brisbane CBD, also known as Brissie, mixes high-rise apartment towers with character terraces and low-rise living in New Farm and Teneriffe, while Fortitude Valley and the James Street precinct provide local retail and dining options and Bowen Hills and Spring Hill offer more-affordable inner-city alternatives. The Brisbane River and major transport corridors keep walkability and short commutes central to how buyers size up properties here. Median prices have made a strong advance, up 22.0% on the year to $799,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained. The median is 1.8% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 27 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 64% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ The Cross River Rail project is a major transport upgrade that has shortened perceived distances across the CBD fringe, and parts of the city have seen commercial space repurposed into residential and amenity uses around riverside precincts such as the Gasworks and the Howard Smith Wharves. Buyers have been paying more attention to balconies, quiet work nooks and proximity to parks such as New Farm Park when comparing listings. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 15.9% on the year, the lowest transaction count in three years.

A small group of real estate agents in Brisbane CBD are often chosen for their local knowledge and experience. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 9% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $820,000 sits 2.6% above the broader area median of $799,000. Their listings sold in a median of 15 days, 12 days faster than the area's typical 27 days, converting 79.1% of their listings into a successful sale, 11.3 percentage points ahead of the area's 67.8%.

The average commission rate is 2.41% (around $19,000 on a median-priced home). Rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach, so focus on an agent's track record with similar properties and their planned marketing approach. 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.
