Find the top real estate agents in South WA

Southern Western Australia is a region of contrasts, where coastal lifestyle anchors such as Albany and Esperance sit alongside the mining centre of Kalgoorlie and the agricultural corridor of the Upper Great Southern. That mix gives the market a broad buyer set, from people drawn to coastal leisure to households tied to farming and resource jobs. Median prices have grown solidly, up 14.1% on the year to $525,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 1.0% above the prior peak set in April 2026. Large natural assets and national parks shape neighbourhood character, so properties with coastal outlooks or easy access to outdoor recreation are a recognisable draw.

Homes are selling in a median of 44 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 15.1% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. Auctions are clearing at 0% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Sea-changers are shifting toward quieter coastal towns such as Denmark and Bremer Bay, while demand around mining hubs such as Kalgoorlie and Kambalda follows the resources cycle. Esperance's growing profile as a tourism and port-linked centre is lifting interest in nearby bayside suburbs, and services and health hubs around Albany are increasingly important to downsizers and families. Tailoring your presentation to the local buyer type helps position your property in a market that varies markedly from coast to inland.

The average commission rate is 3.25% (around $17,000 on a median-priced home). In regional markets such as southern Western Australia, rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When choosing real estate agents in southern Western Australia, make sure they have the local knowledge and experience to handle both coastal and inland pockets.
