Find the top real estate agents in Great Southern Coast

The Great Southern Coast is a coastal and hinterland mix where Albany sits as the main service and employment hub, while Denmark and Mount Barker anchor the quieter hinterland lifestyle market. Shoreline pockets around Middleton Beach, Emu Point and Torbay attract downsizers and holiday buyers, and the Porongurup foothills and surrounding farming localities draw buyers chasing hobby farms and lifestyle acreage. Median prices have been running hot, up 17.3% on the year to $815,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained.

Recent movement in the market has been shaped by a major Albany foreshore and harbour renewal, which continues to lift buyer interest in nearby pockets. Homes are selling in a median of 43 days, faster than a year ago. Sales activity has cooled, down 16.3% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. The median is 0.6% above the prior peak set in August 2026. A steady drift of sea-changers and remote workers toward the coast, combined with city buyers seeking weekend properties, is supporting demand for short-stay-capable homes.

Real estate agents in the Great Southern Coast tend to emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. The top 3 local agents handled 15% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $828,000 is broadly in line with the area median of $815,000.

The average commission rate is 3.14% (around $26,000 on a median-priced home). Rates in regional areas are often higher to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach.
