Find the top real estate agents in Eastern Suburbs

The Eastern Suburbs mixes an established riverfront village feel with broad, family-focused suburbs and substantial industrial pockets. Guildford is the area's defining heritage precinct, Maylands and Inglewood host the cafe strips and small high streets that draw younger buyers, Bayswater and Rivervale offer quieter river and parkland pockets that attract downsizers and lifestyle-minded households, and Midland is the major service and commercial centre for the eastern suburbs. Median prices have been running hot, up 20.4% on the year to $850,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 1.2% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 30 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 50% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Improved rail links along the Midland and airport corridors have made commutable living more attractive, feeding townhouse and infill development around Maylands and Bayswater while Malaga, Hazelmere and Forrestfield remain logistics and light industrial hubs that support investor interest. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 17.3% on the year, the lowest transaction count in three years.
