Find the top real estate agents in Northern Melbourne

Northern Melbourne is a broad, mixed area where inner-urban villages sit alongside fast-moving outer suburbs. Closer to the inner ring, Brunswick and Coburg show the defining terrace and warehouse conversion character that attracts young professionals, creatives and investors drawn to retail strips and cafe precincts such as Lygon Street North, while Essendon and Moonee Ponds present an established middle-ring market of period homes and convenient transport that appeals to families and downsizers. Median prices have edged up gently, up 4.1% on the year to $771,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 0.1% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

On the urban fringe, Craigieburn, Wollert and Kalkallo are growth corridors with large master-planned estates that continue to reshape demand and buyer expectations, and transport links such as the Tullamarine Freeway, the M80 ring road and the airport precincts at Essendon Fields and Tullamarine remain important for people seeking shorter commutes or logistics and service-sector work. Homes are selling in a median of 28 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 69% over the past year.⁽¹⁾

Local real estate agents in Northern Melbourne often focus on different pockets and price points, and those with strong local knowledge and experience can add value when positioning a home. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 2% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $855,000 sits 10.9% above the broader area median of $771,000, 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 29 days, roughly matching the area's pace, converting 74.8% of their listings into a successful sale, 9.3 percentage points ahead of the area's 65.5%.

The average commission rate is 1.78% (around $14,000 on a median-priced home). These rates often reflect campaign length and the marketing needed to reach likely buyers across the area's varied pockets. 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.
