Find the top real estate agents in South WA

The southern Western Australia region covers a wide sweep of markets, and sellers should lean on that variety. Along the Great Southern coast, anchored by Albany and stretching through Middleton Beach, Emu Point, Esperance and Bremer Bay, the lifestyle appeal of holiday towns and coastal living draws retirees, sea-changers and families seeking space and amenity. Further inland, the Goldfields around Kalgoorlie and Kambalda act as a mining services hub that supports a more transactional pool of buyers and renters. Median prices have been running hot, up 23.7% on the year to $580,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained. The median is 1.2% above the prior peak set in August 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 43 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 14.9% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. A steady drift of tree-changers and remote workers toward quieter coastal towns is lifting interest in character homes and properties suited to holiday letting. State investment in regional roads and airport links is improving access and nudging demand in formerly peripheral pockets. In the Goldfields around Kalgoorlie and Kambalda, resource cycles around the Super Pit and related service industries continue to shape activity and can tighten the rental market when project work ramps up. Auctions are clearing at 0% over the past year.⁽¹⁾

The average commission rate is 3.25% (around $19,000 on a median-priced home). Real estate agents in southern Western Australia often charge higher rates because campaigns typically run longer and agents need a broader marketing reach. Local knowledge and experience matter when selling here; an agent who understands coastal holiday markets, mining-town demand or agricultural buyers will be better placed to present your property to the right audience. 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.
