Find the top real estate agents in Northern Melbourne

Northern Melbourne is a broad mosaic of precincts rather than a single neighbourhood, with inner edge Brunswick and Brunswick East offering terrace housing, walkable streets and a cafe and creative buyer profile, middle ring suburbs such as Ivanhoe, Heidelberg and Eltham forming leafy family strongholds, and outer growth corridors around Craigieburn, Wollert and Roxburgh Park supplying newer housing that appeals to first-home buyers and growing families. Median prices have edged up gently, up 2.7% on the year to $770,000, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in June 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 29 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the slowest pace in three years. Auctions are clearing at 66% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Progress on the Melbourne Airport rail is a major transport story for precincts near Tullamarine, Essendon Fields and Broadmeadows, while the Upfield and Mernda lines remain important commuter links that keep inner-north pockets attractive to city workers. At the same time, steady infill and low-rise apartment development in Brunswick, Preston and Thornbury is changing local stock, and the retail draw of Highpoint City continues to support buyer interest across adjoining suburbs.

Real estate agents in Northern Melbourne generally 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 $870,000 sits 13.0% above the broader area median of $770,000. Their listings sold in a median of 27 days, 2 days faster than the area's typical 29 days, converting 80.1% of their listings into a successful sale, 18.8 percentage points ahead of the area's 61.3%.

The average commission rate is 1.79% (around $14,000 on a median-priced home). Rates often reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. 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.
