Find the top real estate agents in Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast, also known as Sunny Coast, sits where broad coastal lifestyle meets hinterland living, with the well-known beachside strips of Mooloolaba, Cotton Tree and Kings Beach drawing those after a seaside pace, while established hinterland towns such as Buderim, Montville and Maleny appeal to buyers chasing elevation and leafy outlooks. Median prices have made a strong advance, up 17.5% on the year to $1,175,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 0.4% above the prior peak set in July 2026.

Improvements like the Sunshine Coast Airport expansion and upgrades to the Bruce Highway have tightened the travel corridor and supported stronger commuter and visitor flows, while Maroochydore's growing CBD is emerging as a more central commercial anchor for the coast. The Sunshine Coast University Hospital in Birtinya and the Sippy Downs education precinct are significant employment hubs that sustain demand from medical and allied professionals. Homes are selling in a median of 34 days, faster than a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 56% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 6.7% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years.

Real estate agents in Sunshine Coast typically emphasise local knowledge and experience, a focused understanding of the local market and a broad reach. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 3% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $1,190,000 is broadly in line with the area median of $1,175,000. Their listings sold in a median of 26 days, 8 days faster than the area's typical 34 days, converting 69.0% of their listings into a successful sale, 10.8 percentage points ahead of the area's 58.2%.

The average commission rate is 2.50% (around $29,000 on a median-priced home). Rates are often higher in growth corridors like parts of the Sunshine Coast because agents commonly run longer campaigns and need a broader marketing reach to connect with the most relevant 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.
