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.

Thornleigh Suburb Overview
Thornleigh is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 25 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of Hornsby Shire. Thornleigh is bounded to the north by Waitara Creek. Thornleigh borders the suburbs of Normanhurst, Westleigh and Pennant Hills.
Thornleigh is named after Constable John Thorn, who, along with Constable Horne, captured bushrangers Dalton and John MacNamara, leader of the North Rocks gang, on 22 June 1830, and were granted land as a reward in 1838. Horne’s land became Hornsby, and Thorn’s land became Thornleigh. The railway line was built in the 1880s and development followed.
As part of the construction of the railway from Strathfield to Hornsby, a 1.2 km branch was constructed in 1884 by the contractors to a quarry in a gully west of Thornleigh. The tracks included a zig-zag section .
Unemployment was a problem during the Great Depression of the 1930s, so a local lady named Lorna Brand raised money for the construction of a walking track near the Lane Cove River as a way of providing relief work. The track begins at Thornleigh Oval, at the bottom of Handley Avenue, and goes through the bush towards the Lane Cove River. It then goes parallel to the river for a short distance before looping back to arrive at Comenarra Parkway. An extension goes down to the river, through a spot called Conscript Pass. At this spot, there are rock carvings done by the men who worked on the track. One of the carvings is a caricature of Bertram Stevens, Premier of New South Wales from 1932 to 1939. The track is known as Lorna Pass in memory of Lorna Brand, and is now part of the Great North Walk, a long-distance walking trail between Sydney and Newcastle.
Thornleigh railway station is on the Northern railway line of the CityRail network. Pennant Hills Road is one of Sydney’s major thoroughfares.
Thornleigh is partly residential, partly industrial and commercial. Thornleigh Marketplace was completed in 2005 and contains a Woolworths supermarket, a Dan Murphy’s liquor supermarket and speciality stores. Several dozen shops and restaurants are located around Thornleigh railway station and nearby Pennant Hills Road. Fast food restaurant chain McDonald’s and tax preparation firm H&R Block have their Australian headquarters in Thornleigh.
Thornleigh West Public School is a primary school . It is situated in Giblett Avenue, opposite Oakleigh Oval. Formerly there was a Thornleigh Public School which was situated at 218 Pennant Hills Road. It closed at the end of 1989 with the widening of Pennant Hills Road to six lanes. The site is now occupied by Bunnings. Normanhurst West Public School is also in Thornleigh, although only just. It is situated at the corner of Sefton and Dartford Roads, right on the boundary with Normanhurst.
The population of Thornleigh in 2001 was 7,505, with 67% over the age of 18, 91% being Australian citizens and 71% born in Australia. Of the 25.7% of residents born overseas, 5.3% are from United Kingdom, 2.2% from Lebanon and 1.9% from New Zealand. Hornsby Shire Council Community profile
