Find the top real estate agents in Brisbane

Brisbane is a river city with a mix of inner-city pulse and a broad suburban catchment. The Brisbane CBD is the dominant employment and apartment hub, drawing professionals and investors who value proximity to work and transport, while the inner ring, especially the Inner North and Inner West, blends character homes and newer apartments that attract young families and downsizers. Outer corridors such as Moreton Bay and Ipswich are major growth areas where family buyers choose newer housing and more space, while Bayside and Redland City draw buyers who prioritise water access. Median prices have been running hot, up 16.3% on the year to $1,000,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained.

City-shaping transport upgrades, including the Cross River Rail project and broader metro improvements, are reshaping where buyers look for convenience. Inner-city apartment supply and renewed riverfront activation are shifting interest among downsizers and investors, while steady interstate migration is feeding demand across middle and outer suburbs. Homes are selling in a median of 26 days, faster than a year ago. The median has matched the prior peak set in July 2026. Auctions are clearing at 60% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 11.6% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years.

The average commission rate is 2.41% (around $24,000 on a median-priced home). Rates are typically lower in capital cities because higher property values and denser competition allow for tighter margins, while in regional Queensland rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. Prioritise real estate agents in Brisbane with local knowledge and experience and a broad reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate.
