Find the top real estate agents in Adelaide

Adelaide is a compact capital where public institutions and a strong university sector help steady demand across inner, middle and outer rings. The Adelaide CBD remains the employment and cultural heart, the Inner North is defined by heritage terraces and cafes that attract professionals seeking walkability, and beachside suburbs and the Adelaide Hills provide coastal and tree-change options for buyers. Median prices have grown solidly, up 11.1% on the year to $861,000, the highest level in five years.

Sellers should note a continued push of transport and renewal projects that are reshaping where buyers look, including the Lot Fourteen innovation precinct, Port Adelaide's waterfront renewal and upgrades along the North South Corridor. State-level planning changes have also nudged more medium-density development into inner and middle suburbs, supporting interest in townhouses and smaller-footprint homes. Homes are selling in a median of 21 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the slowest pace in two years. Auctions are clearing at 48% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 6.0% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years. The median is 0.7% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

The average commission rate is 1.73% (around $15,000 on a median-priced home). In Adelaide, these rates reflect how competition and higher values allow for tighter margins.
