Find the top real estate agents in Western Suburbs

The Western Suburbs is an established, mostly high-amenity pocket of Perth that mixes beachside living with riverside homes and solid family streets. Cottesloe, City Beach and Swanbourne form the area’s beach strip, while Dalkeith and Peppermint Grove are notable riverside pockets. Inland suburbs such as Nedlands, Mount Claremont and Jolimont offer tree-lined family streets, and Crawley, adjacent to the university and hospital precinct, draws professional demand. Median prices have grown solidly, up 14.3% on the year to $1,800,000, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in July 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 36 days, faster than a year ago, the fastest pace in five years. Auctions are clearing at 57% over the past year⁽¹⁾ and there have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 19.0% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. Subiaco’s long-running retail and café strip and the Floreat Forum precinct have seen a steady refresh that is encouraging more weekend foot traffic and shorter sales campaigns in those pockets. There is an emerging move toward lower-maintenance living, with downsizers and professionals showing stronger interest in apartments and townhomes around Subiaco and the Daglish station precinct, while the beachside suburbs continue to appeal to lifestyle purchasers. Positioning a home to match the local demand, whether emphasising outdoor living near the coast, river views in Dalkeith or easy access to Subiaco’s amenities, remains the practical way to reach the most relevant buyers.

Real estate agents in the Western Suburbs often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 9% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $1,625,000 sits 9.7% below the broader area median of $1,800,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list, converting 72.0% of their listings into a successful sale, 4.5 percentage points ahead of the area's 67.5%.

The average commission rate is 2.11% (around $38,000 on a median-priced home). Commission rates can vary across the Western Suburbs, often reflecting longer campaign periods and the need for broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate.
