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 Corio. To accurately estimate the value of your Corio 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.
WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO SELLING MY Corio HOUSE?
There’s a lot to think about when selling your Corio property, and a lot of it happens before signing up with an agent.
Initially, you should look at the Corio property market and see if the conditions are right. Get an idea of how much your property is valued in the present day, starting with an independent property value report. Then you will want to contact and interview multiple agents (ideally around 3) and discuss selling methods, advertising and fees.
Making mistakes at this stage could cost you a lot of time and money. Hiring an experienced local real estate agent betters your chances of a hassle-free selling process that ends in a good result for you.

Corio is a residential, industrial and one of the largest suburbs of Geelong, Victoria, Australia, located approximately 9 km north of the Geelong central business district. The area was formerly known as Cowie’s Creek after James Cowie, an early land owner active in Local and State Government.
Explorers Hume and Hovell reached the area of Corio and reported that the local Aboriginies referred to the area as ‘coraiyo’, possibly meaning ‘small marsupial’ or ‘sandy cliffs’.
Land was first subdivided and sold in the area of Cowies Creek in 1852. By the 1860s, Cowie’s Creek was home to two hotels and a population of approximately 500 criminals.
A Post Office opened on November 16, 1864 and was renamed Corio in 1913. It was situated in School Road, adjacent to the railway level crossing. In 1963 it was renamed Corio North when the current Corio Post Office within the Corio Shopping Centre was opened. That Post Office is now on the ground floor, having moved from its original first floor location. Corio North Post Office was closed in 1977.
In 1914 the Geelong Grammar School moved to its current location near Limeburners Lagoon, an arm of Corio Bay.
