Find the top real estate agents in Central Midlands

The Central Midlands blends a strong coastal holiday character with inland agricultural and lifestyle country. Coastal centres such as Jurien Bay draw weekenders and holiday buyers, while Cervantes, Ledge Point and Lancelin are recognised as popular coastal villages with an expanding short-stay market. Inland towns such as Moora and Toodyay form an established service and heritage backbone that attracts people after lifestyle blocks, rural living and more character homes. Median prices have made a strong advance, up 20.7% on the year to $780,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median has matched the prior peak set in April 2026.

Homes are selling at a median of 56 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. There is growing demand for short-stay-friendly properties on the coast and steady interest in hobby farms and larger blocks from people seeking a tree change. Improving road links and more reliable digital connections are drawing more city commuters and families into peri-urban pockets near Muchea and Gingin, broadening demand in parts of the area. Sales activity has cooled, down 9.0% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years.

Local real estate agents in the Central Midlands bring local knowledge and experience across both coastal holiday stock and inland lifestyle properties. The top 3 local agents handled 22% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $660,000 sits 15.4% below the broader area median of $780,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 70 days, 14 days slower than the area's typical 56 days, converting 68.4% of their listings into a successful sale, tracking the area's typical rate.

The average commission rate is 2.32% (around $18,000 on a median-priced home). Rates in smaller coastal and rural markets can be higher, reflecting longer campaign periods and the need to reach buyers across a wider area. 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.
