Find the top real estate agents in Central Highlands

Central Highlands sits as a practical, service-led patchwork with Emerald as the established regional centre. Median prices have made a strong advance, up 21.4% on the year to $510,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 1.0% above the prior peak set in August 2026.

Recent shifts are shaping buyer behaviour across the region, with Central Highlands Regional Council's ongoing road and town-centre upgrades and improving regional access making it easier for purchasers based outside the area to consider a move. The area blends a substantial resource and farming economy with a stronger lifestyle and tourism layer around the Gemfields, and a growing pipeline of large-scale energy projects keeps demand uneven but meaningful across different pockets. Homes are selling in a median of 41 days, much the same pace as a year ago. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 7.6% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years.

Real estate agents in the Central Highlands often recommend thinking about which buyer your property will attract. The top 3 local agents dominate, handling 47% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $548,000 sits 7.5% above the broader area median of $510,000, 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 37 days, 4 days faster than the area's typical 41 days, converting 75.0% of their listings into a successful sale, 3.8 percentage points ahead of the area's 71.2%.

Smart pricing and a targeted campaign that reflects these local differences are what local agents often recommend. 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.
