Find the top real estate agents in Bayside

Bayside is Melbourne's classic seaside area, where Brighton's bay access sits alongside quieter, family-oriented streets in Hampton, Sandringham and Beaumaris. The area's defining housing mix is obvious to sellers: older, character-filled homes and spacious villas close to the bay, alongside pockets of low-rise townhouses that appeal to buyers after easier maintenance. Median prices have softened gently, down 5.3% on the year to $1,520,000.

Recently the market has been shaped by modest infill around transport nodes and a stronger appetite for low-maintenance living, with more activity around station precincts and refreshed village retail strips. Homes are selling in a median of 27 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the fastest pace in two years. Auctions are clearing at 60% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 5.2% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years.

Real estate agents in Bayside know which pockets attract which bidders. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 8% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $1,780,000 sits 17.1% above the broader area median of $1,520,000, 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 31 days, 4 days slower than the area's typical 27 days, converting 62.0% of their listings into a successful sale, 16.5 percentage points ahead of the area's 45.5%.

The average commission rate is 1.66% (around $25,000 on a median-priced home). Rates can vary with property type and the campaign a seller needs, and they often reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach when a sale needs more targeted promotion. 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.
