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.

Swanbourne Suburb Overview

Swanbourne is a western coastal suburb of Perth, Western Australia and is an affluent locale with older Federation style homes, many being renovated. The suburb was established in the late 19th century. New housing estates have been built recently through the redevelopment of areas such as the Swanbourne Senior High School, Swanbourne Primary School and Lakeway Drive-In Cinema sites.

Swanbourne was named for Swanbourne House, in Swanbourne, Buckinghamshire, the family seat of Thomas Fremantle, 1st Baron Cottesloe, a prominent Tory politician and his brother Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, for whom the city of Fremantle was named.

Swanbourne is bounded by the Swanbourne Rifle Range and Cottesloe Golf Club to the north, Lake Claremont and Stirling Road to the east, the Fremantle railway line and North Street to the south, and the Indian Ocean to the west.

At the ABS 2011 census, Swanbourne had a population of 3,508 people living in 1,402 dwellings, all private dwellings and nearly all detached houses on separate lots. The ABS identified property and business services, health, and education as the three main occupations for people employed in businesses or enterprises located within the suburb. The census does not identify Swanbourne’s largest employer, the Australian Army. Swanbourne is a high income suburb with a median family income of $2757, compared to $1722 for Western Australia and $1481 for Australia.

Swanbourne has a Mediterranean climate like much of southwestern Western Australia including Perth.

Swanbourne includes the 18-hole Cottesloe Golf Club and Swanbourne Beach. Swanbourne is also well known for having the only nudist beach in Perth. The beach, situated on army land and thus not subject to local council authority, is immediately north of the officially named Swanbourne Beach. Swanbourne Reserve contains a number of sporting facilities, including tennis courts, a football/cricket pitch and a rugby pitch. Also at Swanbourne Reserve is the relocated Tom Collins House. Tom Collins was a famous Australian author. A veterinary practice in Devon road was original started by Thomas William Hogarth. Scotch College, a major independent school for boys, is the suburb’s largest employer after the Army.

The Australian Special Air Service Regiment barracks and Campbell Barracks are both located within the suburb, which also occupies coastline north of Cottesloe and south of City Beach.

It is regarded as a safe seat and has been continually retained by the Liberal Party, with the exception of former Liberal member Allan Rocher as an Independent politician between 1996 and 1998. For the parliament of Western Australia, the state electoral district of Cottesloe is also held by the Liberal Party.

Swanbourne is a high income suburb with a median family income of $2757, compared to $1722 for Western Australia and $1481 for Australia.
