More Information

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 Herberton. To accurately estimate the value of your Herberton 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.

Start by looking at property market statistics which will give you an idea of property values and price trends.

Herberton Suburb Overview

Herberton is a town on the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland, Australia. At the 2006 census, Herberton had a population of 974.

The first European exploration of this area was undertaken in 1875 by James Venture Mulligan. Mulligan was prospecting for gold, but instead found tin on the Herbert River. The town of Herberton was established on 19 April 1880 by John Newell to exploit the tin find, and mining began on 9 May. By the September of that year, Herberton had a population of 300 men and 27 women. In December 1881 a State School was established.

In the late 19th century the Mulligan Highway was carved through the hills from Herberton and passed through what is now Main Street, Atherton, before continuing down to Port Douglas. This road was used by the coaches of Cobb and Co to access Western Queensland.

At its apogee, Herberton was the richest tin mining field in Australia, and was home to 17 pubs, 2 local newspapers and a brewery.

Herberton is situated in the hills of the south-west ranges that surround Atherton.

Several crops are grown around Herberton, and it is the location of Queensland’s only tropical vineyard. Herberton is a mini salad bowl with crops including avocados, lettuce, tomatoes, maize and pumpkins. Poultry and beef industries are also present.

Herberton is attracting more tourists, with the 5 year old ‘Mining Museum and Tourist Information Centre’ http://herberton.qld.au/miningmuseum catering to the needs of the tourist industry. With accommodation at every level from caravan park, pub, motel and b&b available, travellers are now able to spend time in the small town. Herberton is the oldest town on the Atherton Tablelands and is often referred to as the Village in the hills. Spectacular during the Jacaranda season, it is a pretty little town with several buildings of historical significance and a Heritage Walk for tourists that takes in some of the old buildings and historical features of the town.

The Herberton Historical Village has now re-opened since Easter 2009 This attraction is a highlight for visitors to the tablelands and anyone interested in Queensland’s Heritage.

The Tepon Equestrian Grounds just out of Herberton have recently been upgraded with a large undercover pavilion for equestrian and other sporting events such as cycling and mountain biking. Local markets are held on the 3rd Sunday of every month at the Wondecla Oval.

One of the most unique attraction in Herberton is the Spy and Camera Museum housing Antique spy cameras,a Photographic Gallery and Photographic memorabilia with guided tours through the Museum and a working Photographer and Photographic Studio.
