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.

Alphington Suburb Overview
Alphington is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 7 km north-east from Melbourne’s Central Business District. Its Local Government Area are the Cities of Darebin and Yarra. At the 2011 Census, Alphington had a population of 4,603.
It is a primarily residential suburb consisting of mixture of 1970s brick veneer, recently-built townhouses as well as period weatherboards. There is also a major paper production plant in the suburb.
Alphington is bounded by the Yarra River in the south and the Darebin Creek in the east.
House prices in Alphington has increased dramatically over the past couple of years, making the area well known.
The genesis of Alphington was the Bridge Hotel and Darebin Creek Bridge on Heidelberg Road, both commenced in the 1840s, with a new stone arch bridge erected in 1864.
Alphington was originally part of the Jika Jika Parish, bounded by Rathmines Street to the west, Darebin Creek to the east, and the Yarra River to the south.
Alphington has tracts of green open space, such as the Darebin Parklands and Alphington Park. The suburb also features the Latrobe Golf Club. The area around Alphington railway station contains a stand of River Red Gum trees, the oldest of which likely pre-dates European settlement. These areas have been revegetated with indigenous plantings by local residents and the local Council beginning in the late 1990s and are now characterised by vigorous young Red Gum growth and the return of native fauna such as Tawny Frogmouths. Sightings of Echidnas have been reported. The site’s proximity to the Darebin Parklands increases the likelihood of such habitations into the future.
A notable location in the part of Alphington to the south of Heidelberg Road is the revegetated wetlands. This area abuts the Yarra River, and includes the disused modification to the river bank once referred to as the Alphington Swimming Pool.
The Darebin Enterprise Centre is located just to the north east of the railway station and adjacent to the shallow valley of the Darebin Creek. There is no pedestrian access along the train bridge over the creek. Strangely, the Darebin Creek Trail terminates beneath this same bridge – preventing what would otherwise seem to be a logical connection to the Yarra River.
