Find the top real estate agents in South West WA

The South West region of Western Australia is a mix of coastal lifestyle hubs, productive agricultural hinterland and native forest country. Margaret River provides the region's anchor lifestyle and wine tourism pull, Bunbury is the substantial regional services and port centre that supports surrounding towns, Busselton acts as an established coastal gateway with broad family appeal, and Manjimup represents a quieter timber and farming base. Median prices have firmed materially, up 14.7% on the year to $780,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 0.7% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Recent shifts are shaping where activity concentrates across the region. Homes are selling in a median of 42 days, much the same pace as a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 67% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Sales activity has cooled, down 15.7% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. Improved weekend access through Busselton's airport upgrades and local transport works has strengthened short-stay and lifestyle demand in the western corridor, while a recovery in tourism is lifting enquiries in Margaret River and Dunsborough and local planning focus on protecting coastal character and productive farmland is keeping new supply relatively contained.

The average commission rate is 3.24% (around $25,000 on a median-priced home). Those rates often reflect longer campaign periods and the need for a broader marketing reach to attract buyers for lifestyle and rural properties.
