Find the top real estate agents in Northern Suburbs

The Northern Suburbs sit between established beachside villages and a broad outer growth corridor, with Joondalup the major commercial and education hub, an industrial belt around Wangara and Osborne Park supporting local trade, and coastal pockets such as Scarborough, Trigg and Hillarys offering walkable beaches and café precincts. Median prices have been running hot, up 18.4% on the year to $991,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 1.1% above the prior peak set in July 2026.

Recent shifts are reshaping where demand lands. Better road links to the city and the Joondalup rail line, plus a major northern rail extension, have strengthened the outer corridor for first-home buyers and young families, while planning that encourages medium-density housing around stations is lifting interest in mid-ring suburbs. Homes are selling in a median of 31 days, faster than a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 46% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 17.5% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. At a sub-area level, Churchlands and Duncraig remain family-friendly areas that appeal to school-focused purchasers, while Alkimos, Eglinton and Yanchep form a fast-growing outer corridor of master-planned neighbourhoods attracting cost-conscious buyers.

Local real estate agents in the Northern Suburbs often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a broad reach across the coastal and outer corridor markets. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 5% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $890,000 sits 10.2% below the broader area median of $991,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 29 days, 2 days faster than the area's typical 31 days, converting 75.3% of their listings into a successful sale, 26.0 percentage points ahead of the area's 49.3%.

The average commission rate is 2.01% (around $20,000 on a median-priced home). Rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and the broader marketing reach agents need to attract the right buyers across both established family suburbs and fast-growing estate pockets. 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.
