Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the average real estate agent commission in Holder?

In Holder, commission rates typically vary from agent to agent. The exact figure depends on the agent, property type, and level of service. It’s always worth negotiating and comparing local agents before making a decision.

Q: Are real estate agent fees negotiable in Holder?

Yes. Most agents are open to negotiation, especially if your property is highly desirable, or you’re considering a tiered commission structure. Asking the right questions and comparing options can save you thousands.

Q: How much does it cost to sell a house in Holder?

Beyond commission, you should budget for marketing (photography, online ads, brochures), styling, and conveyancing/legal fees. On average, sellers in Holder can spend between $6,000 and $12,000 on these extras.

Q: What are the risks of choosing the cheapest agent?

The lowest-fee agent isn’t always the best choice. An experienced agent with strong negotiation skills may secure a higher sale price that more than offsets their higher commission. Cheap fees can sometimes mean reduced service, limited marketing, or less experience and a lower sale price.

Q: Do I need professional styling or photography for my Holder property?

While not mandatory, professional styling and photography can in some cases increase buyer interest and boost sale prices. In suburbs like Holder, it might be a worthwhile investment.

Q: What does a vendor advocate do, and should I use one in Holder?

A vendor advocate helps sellers choose the right agent, negotiate fair fees, and oversee the sales process. For busy homeowners or those unfamiliar with selling, it provides peace of mind and will improve the overall outcome.

About Holder (ACT 2611)

The suburb of Holder is a part of the Weston Creek District of Canberra in the ACT and is located 13 km to the southwest of the Canberra city centre. It sits on the western edge of the Canberra suburbs, and overlooks bare land towards Mount Stromlo to the west and Belconnen to the north.

The Weston homestead, one of the earliest homes in the district and the property after which the district of Weston Creek was named, was situated in present-day Holder prior to the commencement of residential development in the valley. It was located in what is now Calder Crescent. John and Ellen Fox lived at the Weston homestead from about the 1860s, and several of their nine children were born there. The Weston lease was later purchased by Rudolph and Eileen De Salis in 1937. Rudolph remained at Weston until he died in February 1957, aged 70. Members of the De Salis family continued to live at Weston up until the late-1960s. Holder was announced by the Minister for the Interior, Mr Nixon, as the name of one of the eight new Weston Creek suburbs on 2 July 1970. It was named after Sir Frederick William Holder (1850-1909), Premier of South Australia between 1899 and 1901, and first Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives from 1901 to 1909. Consistent with Canberra's concept of having themed streets in each suburb, all streets in Holder are named after prominent Australian surveyors. The suburb is predominantly residential housing, with most houses constructed around 1970-1972. Holder and neighbouring Duffy were the fifth and sixth suburbs to be developed in Weston Creek following Waramanga, Fisher, Weston and Rivett. Construction of homes mostly occurred during 1971 and 1972, and new bus services to Holder commenced in September 1971.
