Find the top real estate agents in Perth

Perth is a coastal capital with clear rings of demand, where the CBD is the main employment and apartment market and the Western Suburbs attract families with beachside living and school catchments. Fremantle is a portside precinct known for its culture and cafés, Swan Valley anchors interest from buyers seeking small acreage and a cellar door lifestyle, and Rockingham and Peel remain coastal, value oriented alternatives for buyers prioritising seaside access. Median prices have been running hot, up 16.0% on the year to $870,000, 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.

Recent shifts are reshaping which pockets lead the market, with the METRONET rail program and road upgrades strengthening middle-ring suburbs and shortening commutes to central jobs, helping demand in the northern and south-eastern corridors and supporting interest in homes with flexible workspaces and outdoor areas. Homes are selling in a median of 32 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 17.5% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. For sellers, the micro-market matters: Inner North and Inner South suburbs remain renovation territories where character homes attract renovators and young families, The Hills offers a quieter tree-change appeal, and Fremantle often sees stronger interest from buyers prioritising amenity over size.

The average commission rate is 2.09% (around $18,000 on a median-priced home). When choosing real estate agents in Perth, prioritise local knowledge and experience and a broad marketing reach, because matching the campaign to your pocket and likely buyer pools matters for the outcome. 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.
