Find the top real estate agents in Southern Suburbs

The Southern Suburbs combine several distinct housing markets across Adelaide. You will find a defining garden suburb character in Colonel Light Gardens and tree-lined pockets around Mitcham and Hawthorn, while the coastal strip from Port Noarlunga to Moana draws buyers who prioritise beach access and relaxed weekend living. Median prices have grown solidly, up 10.3% on the year to $890,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 1.1% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 19 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 48% over the past year⁽¹⁾, and there have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 7.4% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. Improved links along the Seaford rail line and the Southern Expressway have strengthened commuting appeal, while Noarlunga Centre remains a major hub for shopping and services and the employment and research cluster around Bedford Park and Tonsley is drawing health and tertiary-sector professionals to nearby suburbs.

Real estate agents in the Southern 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 6% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $860,000 sits 3.4% below the broader area median of $890,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 17 days, -2 days faster than the area's typical 19 days, converting 87.1% of their listings into a successful sale, 6.8 percentage points ahead of the area's 80.3%.

The average commission rate is 1.86% (around $17,000 on a median-priced home). Rates can be higher where campaigns run longer or require broader marketing reach, so it pays to compare an agent's recent sales and experience with similar properties. 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.
