Estimated Agent Commission
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.

There are several variables that can affect property values in ELTHAM. To accurately estimate the value of your ELTHAM 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.

Initially, you should look at the ELTHAM 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.
Make sure you are sure about selling, and are realistic about your property’s value when talking to agents. A mistake here could cost you. The best way to avoid costly missteps and get a good price is to sign up with a strong local real estate agent that can walk you through the whole selling process in an honest way.

Eltham) is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 20 km north-east from Melbourne’s Central Business District. Its Local Government Area is the Shire of Nillumbik. At the 2011 Census, Eltham had a population of 18,162.
Eltham is one of the ‘ green wedge ‘ areas that provide relatively undeveloped, accessible environments within the Melbourne suburban region. These green wedge areas are under constant pressure from developments such as road and freeway expansions, but Eltham has managed to retain many tree-lined streets and leafy reserves. However, the character of the suburb is changing rapidly, with increased road traffic and higher-density housing becoming more common.
Eltham is known for its tourist attractions, including the artists colony Montsalvat and the Diamond Valley Railway, the largest ridable miniature railway in Australia.
Eltham developed around what is now Main Road from the 1840s. A reserve for a village at the junction of the Diamond Creek and Yarra River is shown on maps around 1848. By 1851 the first Crown allotments were being subdivided and sold, along with a private subdivision developed by T. M. Holloway, known as Little Eltham. At this time, the town’s centre was located around the intersection of Pitt Street and Main Road.
The arrival of the railway line in 1902 drew business further north along Main Road to the current town centre.
In February 1855 Hungarian immigrant Sigismund Wekey purchased 211 acres in what was then Eltham, through ‘The Victoria Vineyard and Garden Fruit Company’, of which he was the manager, with a vision of starting a wine industry in the new settlement near Melbourne.
In March 1855, Wekey held a meeting at the Bulleen Hotel and called for shareholders, “each according to his means
A plan, backed by a group of Melbourne businessmen, who would form the ‘Templestowe Bridge Committee’, attracted the necessary shareholders and the project was underway. ‘Colonial Architect’ of the day, James Balmain, did the design as a private commission, the engineers and builders were Allott & Greenwood. The foundation stone, laid by John Hodgson M.L.C., on 18 August 1855, concealed a manuscript giving details of the people at the ceremony.
Meantime Wekey conceived a plan for another bridge at Studley Park, to improve and shorten the trip to the City even further. By 21 September 1855, the plan for this second bridge was underway.
Unfortunately in January 1856 the Victoria Vineyard and Garden Fruit Company was forced to sell its land. The sale was to Mr King for ?8 English Pounds an acre – the land had been acquired originally for ?4.60 English Pounds an acre – but Wekey had been confident it would soon be worth ?18-20 English Pounds per acre. The company was wound up shortly afterwards.
