Sydney values remain firmly above $1.7 million, with prices up over the year even after a softer June quarter. A steadier market like this rewards sellers who price well and present well, which is exactly what a PLBO campaign is built for.
What Sydney prices mean for your commission
Sydney agents charge an average of about 1.84% (AgentBridge, June 2026). On Sydney prices, that's a lot of money:

|---|---|---|---|
| $1,200,000 | $22,080 | $699 | $21,381 |
| $1,733,891 (median) | $31,904 | $699 | $31,205 |
| $2,500,000 | $46,000 | $699 | $45,301 |
| $3,500,000 | $64,400 | $699 | $63,701 |
With PLBO you pay one upfront fee and keep 100% of your sale proceeds.
How to price your Sydney home
- Open your PLBO property comparables report. It shows recent sales of similar homes near you, so you're pricing from real evidence from day one!
- Adjust for the differences: renovations, parking (gold in Sydney!), views, aspect, and distance to the station, beach or harbour.
- Set your asking price. A clear price attracts buyers who act.
- Track the response in your PLBO dashboard, including enquiries, inspection registrations and offers, and fine-tune in minutes.
- Want a second opinion? A registered valuer can add a formal valuation.
Sydney's many markets
The Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West, the North Shore, the Northern Beaches, the Hills, Western Sydney, the Sutherland Shire: each has its own buyers and price points. Your comparables report focuses on the sales that matter, the ones near you.
What Sydney buyers love in 2026
- Parking and storage: a garage or off-street space is a big plus
- Transport: walking distance to a train, metro, light rail or ferry
- Outdoor living: a courtyard, balcony or backyard for entertaining
- Energy savings: solar, batteries and efficient air-conditioning
- School zones: name them in your listing

Your listing puts these highlights in front of buyers on PLBO and across Domain, view, homely, Soho, realty, onthehouse and allhomes*.
When to sell in Sydney
| Season | What to expect |

| Summer (Dec–Feb) | slows around Christmas, then bounces back strongly in February |
| Autumn (Mar–May) | steady, motivated buyers and mild inspection weather |
