Find the top real estate agents in The Murray

The Murray, also known as Murray River, is a working riverland where broadacre farming and irrigated horticulture sit alongside genuine lakeside and town-centre lifestyle pockets. Swan Hill is the region's dominant service and retail hub, Robinvale is a significant irrigation centre with a strong local community, and Lake Boga attracts buyers looking for a relaxed water-facing lifestyle; smaller towns such as Kerang and Quambatook fill out the market with established family housing and long-running agricultural tenancy demand. Median prices have edged up gently, up 3.9% on the year to $405,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 1.3% above the prior peak set in July 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 80 days, slower than a year ago. Transaction activity has ticked up, up 7.6% on the year. There is heightened interest in riverfront and lakeside properties around Lake Boga and Pental Island from lifestyle buyers and retirees, while the irrigation precincts near Robinvale and Piangil are seeing stronger attention from buyers focused on productive land and water access. Improved regional road connections on the Murray Valley Highway and targeted riverfront and town-centre upgrades have made the larger towns more accessible, supporting a steady flow of out-of-area buyers who can now work remotely or commute to regional health and education jobs. For sellers, properties close to Swan Hill's town centre or Kerang's service amenities still appeal as the region's primary family and services pockets, while genuine waterfront or irrigated blocks often compete on land size and rural amenity rather than on quick turnover.

Real estate agents in The Murray often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. The top 3 local agents dominate, handling 25% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $455,000 sits 12.4% above the broader area median of $405,000, 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 74 days, 6 days faster than the area's typical 80 days, converting 77.8% of their listings into a successful sale, 17.8 percentage points ahead of the area's 60.0%.

Commission rates in regional markets can be higher than in cities because campaigns often run longer and agents use broader marketing reach to find the right buyer. 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.
