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 Chermside. To accurately estimate the value of your Chermside 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.

It’s a good idea to start with some independent research, before committing to selling your Chermside property. Start by looking at property market statistics which will give you an idea of property values and price trends. Speak with a few agents to see what they think of your property, and how to best market and sell your home.

Chermside Suburb Overview
Chermside is a suburb on the north side of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Chermside is a key destination along Queensland Transport ‘s future Northern Busway. Chermside is home to Queensland’s largest shopping centre which contains a 3 story Myer and a 16 screen cinema complex.
Together with Indooroopilly, in the west;Carindale, in the southeast;and Mount Gravatt, on the south side;the suburb has been described as a mini- CBD.
The Chermside area was first settled by Europeans in the late 19th century. The first plot of land was sold on 23 May 1866, and the population has progressively increased since with a significant increase with the post-war residential development.
In November 1868 Cobb & Co. stagecoaches began to travel through Chermside on the way to the goldfields at Gympie.
Brisbane’s tramway network finally reached the suburb on the 29 March 1947, and Chermside remained the northernmost point on the system until the line to Chermside was closed on 2 December 1968. The tram line along Gympie Road was separated from other traffic, which resulted in fast travel times along this portion of the route. Another feature of the Chermside tram line were the rose gardens which bordered the reserved track portion of the line. A picture of the Chermside tram line can be viewed at.
Originally named Downfall Creek, the suburb’s name was change to Chermside in 1903 after the Governor of Queensland, Major-General Sir Herbert Chermside
Chermside State School was opened on the 9 July 1900 and closed on 13 December 1996. Craigslea State School opened 24 January 1972 and a neighbouring High School in January 1975.
The Dawn theatre first opened in 1928, and closed on the 2 August 2005. It was the last single screen cinema in Brisbane.
Westfield Chermside first opened in May 1957 as The Chermside Drive-in Shopping Centre with an Allan & Stark’s department store and a small arcade of a dozen shops, before becoming a Myer department store. It was the first drive-in shopping centre in Australia. It is now the largest single level shopping centre in Australia, with a 4 storey Myer, as well as a 16 screen Birch, Carrol and Coyle megaplex. It is also home to Brisbane’s first Apple Store.
The early 1970s saw the opening of Queensland’s first Kmart store in Chermside, which was situated next to a Coles supermarket. Both of these stores closed in the mid-1990s and have been replaced with a Woolworths supermarket and specialty stores. Both Kmart and Coles have been relocated in Westfield Chermside.
Chermside has many outdoor recreational facilities, including two large parks, 7th Brigade Park, and Marchant Park – on land donated 9 September 1921 by soft drink manufacturer George Marchant. Before and during World War I this land had been variously the home of artillery and light horse units. During World War II a diverse range of volunteers, soldiers, and camps were at Chermside, such as U.S. Army units, including a number of African American soldiers. A Kitty Hawk plane on a training flight crashed there in 1943, killing the pilot and instructor.
