Find the top real estate agents in Hobart

Hobart is a compact, lifestyle-first capital where a mix of public sector workers, university staff, creatives and sea-changers shape demand. The city is defined by a distinctive mix of heritage cottages, low-rise apartments in the CBD and leafy middle-ring streets, so sellers should expect buyers who value proximity to the water, cafes and a quieter pace compared with bigger mainland capitals. Median prices have edged up gently, up 5.1% on the year to $720,000, the highest level in five years.

Homes are selling in a median of 28 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in three years. The median has matched the prior peak set in August 2026. A major hospital redevelopment and a stronger planning emphasis on infill are shaping where demand concentrates, with the CBD drawing professionals and inner-city apartment buyers, the Eastern Shore serving commuters and families, Kingborough, centred on Kingston, appealing to families and downsizers, and Sorell, Brighton and Dodges Ferry each attracting different buyers from first-home buyers to holiday investors.

The average commission rate is 2.24% (around $16,000 on a median-priced home). When comparing real estate agents in Hobart, local knowledge and experience and a broad marketing reach are important, as campaign approach often influences how long a property is on the market and how many buyers see it. 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.
