Find the top real estate agents in Eastern Melbourne

Eastern Melbourne is a broad, leafy market that mixes well-established, character-filled pockets with busy suburban centres. In places like Kew, Camberwell and Balwyn, older period homes sit on mature, tree-lined streets and draw buyers who prioritise school access, renovation potential and proximity to parks, while Box Hill and Glen Waverley act as major transport and retail hubs with apartment living, multicultural dining and commuter convenience. Median prices have been broadly flat, up 1.7% on the year to $1,065,000, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in February 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 26 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 68% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Transaction activity has been broadly steady, down 4.2% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years. Medium-density development around the larger activity centres, together with modest upgrades to local transport and health amenities, is reshaping how properties trade across the area and has lifted interest in low-maintenance homes close to trains and shops, while families continue to look to outer suburbs for land and school access.

Real estate agents in Eastern Melbourne 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 2% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $1,200,000 sits 12.7% above the broader area median of $1,065,000, 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 24 days, 2 days faster than the area's typical 26 days, converting 81.3% of their listings into a successful sale, 16.4 percentage points ahead of the area's 64.9%.

The average commission rate is 1.70% (around $18,000 on a median-priced home). Rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach across a varied area like this. 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.
