Find the top real estate agents in Inner South

Inner South feels like a riverside patchwork, with established, high-amenity pockets along the Swan River such as Applecross, Mount Pleasant, South Perth and Bicton where owner-occupiers and downsizers prize leafy streets and river views. Further inland, quieter family suburbs like Brentwood, Como and Manning sit alongside mixed-use precincts around Murdoch and Bull Creek that combine student and health-worker rental demand with longer-term owner-occupiers. Median prices have been running hot, up 24.1% on the year to $1,240,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 0.4% above the prior peak set in August 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 36 days, much the same pace as a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 49% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Transaction activity has been well down, down 21.9% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. Local anchors such as the Murdoch education and health precinct, the Canning Bridge precinct, a major activity and transit corridor shaping denser apartment development, and Burswood's river-foreshore leisure precinct continue to underpin where demand concentrates, while major transport corridors like the Kwinana Freeway keep the area connected to the city for weekday commuters.

Real estate agents in the Inner South often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 7% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $1,325,000 sits 6.9% above the broader area median of $1,240,000, 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 28 days, 8 days faster than the area's typical 36 days, converting 71.1% of their listings into a successful sale, 8.2 percentage points ahead of the area's 62.9%.

The average commission rate is 2.04% (around $25,000 on a median-priced home). These rates reflect campaign length and the marketing reach an agent provides, so it pays to match an agent's approach to the likely buyer for your home. 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.
