Find the top real estate agents in Eastern Suburbs

The Eastern Suburbs are an established, leafy pocket that sits close to the city yet feels distinctly residential. Pockets such as Rose Park, College Park and Toorak Gardens are known for their heritage terraces and villas and tend to attract owner-occupiers who respond to period detail and garden privacy. The area is known for its tree-lined streets and lifestyle amenities, with the major retail strip The Parade in Norwood and a village-style high street around Unley drawing buyers who prioritise walkable cafes, schools and local character. Median prices have edged up gently, up 5.7% on the year to $1,268,000, the highest level in five years. The median is 0.6% above the prior peak set in August 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 20 days, much the same pace as a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 45% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 9.9% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years. Emerging medium-density supply in precincts like Kent Town and Glenside is attracting younger professionals, while streetscape upgrades and improvements to active transport routes have brought more buyer attention to neighbourhoods just off the main shopping strips.

Real estate agents in the Eastern Suburbs often emphasise local knowledge, experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 8% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $1,356,000 sits 6.9% above the broader area median of $1,268,000, 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 16 days, 4 days faster than the area's typical 20 days, converting 76.8% of their listings into a successful sale, 5.7 percentage points ahead of the area's 71.1%.

The average commission rate is 1.69% (around $21,000 on a median-priced home). These rates reflect local market conditions; agents may price their services to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate.
