Find the top real estate agents in East Coast

The East Coast of Tasmania is a string of coastal villages and small service towns where lifestyle and nature shape the property market. Towns such as Bicheno, Coles Bay and Freycinet anchor the coastline and attract buyers who prize holiday living, waterfront outlooks and proximity to national park scenery. Median prices have edged up gently, up 3.5% on the year to $590,000.

St Helens acts as the major gateway to the Bay of Fires, while Swansea, Orford and Triabunna serve as quieter service towns with steady local demand from families and downsizers. Homes are selling in a median of 106 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in two years. Transaction activity has been well up, up 20.9% on the year. Incremental improvements to regional services and coastal amenity upgrades have also made several pockets easier to market year round.

East Coast real estate agents often position listings either as lifestyle and holiday opportunities or as community homes, depending on the town. The top 3 local agents dominate, handling 35% of sales over the past year.
