Find the top real estate agents in Great Southern Coast

The Great Southern Coast is a coastal and hinterland area anchored by Albany as the dominant regional centre, mixing beachfront living around Middleton Beach and Emu Point with established hinterland lifestyle parcels near Porongurup and Mount Barker and quieter family streets in Lower King and Mira Mar. Sellers here can expect interest from a broad cross-section of buyers, from retirees and downsizers seeking low-maintenance coastal homes to families and local professionals chasing proximity to schools and services. Median prices have been running hot, up 22.5% on the year to $790,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 2.6% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Recent shifts are shaping demand in familiar ways, with Albany's foreshore and waterfront precinct remaining a major lifestyle draw and improvements to regional road links and local amenity strengthening year-round tourism and visitor interest. Homes are selling in a median of 42 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Transaction activity has been well down, down 20.7% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. At the same time there is an emerging flow of remote workers and lifestyle migrants looking for roomier properties, and short-stay rental activity is increasingly prominent in the popular beachside pockets.
