Find the top real estate agents in Northern Suburbs

The Northern Suburbs are a practical mix of city-adjacent pockets and outer growth corridors. Closer-in suburbs such as Kilburn, Blair Athol and Enfield carry older housing stock that attracts renovators and first-home buyers. Blakeview, Craigmore and Munno Para form a substantial new-release belt that appeals to young families, and Gawler and Two Wells offer semi-rural appeal for buyers prioritising space and a quieter lifestyle. Median prices have grown solidly, up 13.5% on the year to $749,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 1.2% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Employment and infrastructure are shaping demand across the Northern Suburbs, with industrial and logistics precincts around Regency Park, Wingfield, Gepps Cross and Parafield supporting steady rental interest, the defence and aerospace presence near Edinburgh providing a specialised employment anchor, and Mawson Lakes anchoring a technology and university precinct that pulls professionals and downsizers. Homes are selling in a median of 22 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 47% over the past year⁽¹⁾, and there have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 6.9% on the year.

Real estate agents in the Northern Suburbs often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 7% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $693,000 sits 7.5% below the broader area median of $749,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 18 days, 4 days faster than the area's typical 22 days, converting 82.7% of their listings into a successful sale, 9.0 percentage points ahead of the area's 73.7%.

The average commission rate is 1.82% (around $14,000 on a median-priced home). Rates are often lower in dense, city-adjacent pockets where higher activity supports tighter margins. In outer suburbs and fringe areas, agents typically set higher rates to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. 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.
