The data on this website, including in the graphs and calculator, is approximate in nature and should not be relied upon.
Talking to a top local real estate agent is a good first step to determine what you may be required to pay to sell your property and to understand the local property market.
The graph and calculator use data collected by Which Real Estate Agent in 2019, and provides a state-wide average estimation of commission rate. The data presented should only be used as an indication of what you may be required to pay.
Be careful of extra fees that may be charged by a real estate agent. We recommend you properly review the agency agreement and cost schedules, so there are no surprises when you are presented with the final bill.
There is almost always room to negotiate commissions with agents. Do not be afraid to ask for an agent fee structure that favours your situation and ensures the agent does their job.
However, remember that an agent willing to drop their agent fees to rock-bottom are not likely to have your best interests at heart. Make sure you’re not just padding out someone else’s sales statistics - you should spend a little more to make more.

WHAT IS MY HOUSE PRICE ESTIMATE?
There are several variables that can affect property values in Balwyn North. To accurately estimate the value of your Balwyn North property, these variables need to be taken into account.
One of the most significant, but surprising, contributors to your property price is proximity to loud areas or industry.
Several nearby types of infrastructure may drive your house value estimation down. Public infrastructure such as busy roads or flight paths could generate a lot of noise pollution which may deter some buyers, leading to your property selling at a lower price.
With so many potential factors affecting a property’s price, it’s best to do some research before talking to agents.
Figure out the value of your home, and start your selling journey with some confidence. Get started by requesting a property appraisal from an agent today.

Balwyn North Suburb Overview
Balwyn North is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 11 km east from Melbourne’s Central Business District. Its Local Government Area is the City of Boroondara. At the 2011 Census, Balwyn North had a population of 20,317.
The north west part of the suburb is also known as Bellevue and the South East part of the suburb is also known as Greythorn.
Located in Balwyn North are several primary schools, such as Greythorn, Balwyn North, Bellevue, Boroondara Park, St Bridget’s and St. Bede’s. Also, Balwyn High School is located on Buchanan Avenue. In addition, on Balwyn Road, is Fintona Girls’ School, just south in nearby Balwyn. The main shopping strip is ‘The Village’, on Doncaster Road, east of the intersection with Bulleen Road.
Bicycle tracks connect with the Main Yarra Trail, along the Yarra River and the Eastern Freeway. Tram route 48 passes through Balwyn North, running along Doncaster Road and terminating at the intersection with Balwyn Road. A number of bus routes connect Balwyn North with suburbs such as Box Hill, Camberwell, Doncaster and Templestowe.

Balwyn North was one of the first Melbourne suburbs to be developed according to the pattern of postwar suburbia, with expansive, quiet residential areas designed as family homes and relatively few business districts.
A Balwyn North Post Office opened on 1 April 1937. This was renamed Burke Road in 1941, when a new Balwyn North office opened at its current location. The Greythorn Post Office opened in 1951.
Golfers play at the course of Freeway Golf on Columba Street, Balwyn North.
The post-war residential character of the suburb is gradually being eroded by the demolition of original houses, surrounded by trees and gardens. These are being progressively replaced by large multi-storey houses, which occupy the whole allotment, leaving very little space for gardens. Accordingly, there is a high rainfall run off with less ground area for the absorption of water for trees. Many of the initial residents planted native trees and shrubs which attracted birdlife, but this is gradually being eliminated by development.
