Find the top real estate agents in Geelong

Geelong blends an established inner city with broad growth corridors and a coastal lifestyle draw. Inner pockets such as Newtown, Geelong West and Manifold Heights are defined by period homes, tree-lined streets and neighbourhood cafes that attract professionals and downsizers looking for character close to the city. Median prices have edged up gently, up 6.7% on the year to $715,000, the highest level in three years, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in October 2022.

Homes are selling in a median of 29 days, faster than a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 59% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ The outer ring is dominated by major master-planned growth areas such as Armstrong Creek, Mount Duneed and the Charlemont precinct, which shape much of the new-build supply and family demand, while Waurn Ponds remains an important education and retail hub and the transport corridor around Marshall and the Princes Freeway provides a key link for commuters.

Real estate agents in Geelong 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 7% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $648,000 sits 9.4% below the broader area median of $715,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 22 days, 7 days faster than the area's typical 29 days, converting 77.5% of their listings into a successful sale, 20.1 percentage points ahead of the area's 57.4%.
