Find the top real estate agents in Perth

Perth remains a broad, coastal capital where distinct rings attract different buyers. The CBD and precincts around Elizabeth Quay and Perth City Link attract professionals and downsizers seeking inner-city convenience and riverfront amenity, while the Western Suburbs remain an established family and higher-end market with strong school appeal. Fremantle offers portside living with cafe culture and heritage homes, and suburbs in the inner north and inner south continue to trade on character housing and proximity to the city. Median prices have been running hot, up 18.7% on the year to $915,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained. The median is 0.6% above the prior peak set in August 2026.

Homes are selling at a median of 34 days, faster than a year ago. The Metronet expansion is lifting interest in places such as Cockburn and parts of the northern suburbs by improving commuter access, while a steady diversification of jobs into health, education and precinct-based technology is supporting more local buyer activity rather than a single resource-driven cycle. At the same time, a sustained drift toward coastal and lifestyle living has given Rockingham, Peel and the Swan Valley renewed attention from sea-changers and buyers seeking larger blocks and weekend amenity. Transaction activity has been well down, down 20.3% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years.

The average commission rate is 2.06% (around $19,000 on a median-priced home). In metro markets like Perth, high property values and dense competition tend to allow tighter margins. In regional Western Australia, rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. Real estate agents in Perth with local knowledge and experience and broad reach can help present your home to the kinds of buyers active in each pocket. 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.
