Frequently Asked Questions

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

In Yarralumla, 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 Yarralumla?

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 Yarralumla?

Beyond commission, you should budget for marketing (photography, online ads, brochures), styling, and conveyancing/legal fees. On average, sellers in Yarralumla 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 Yarralumla property?

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

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

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 Yarralumla (ACT 2600)

Yarralumla is a large inner south suburb of Canberra located approximately 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) south-west of the city, Yarralumla extends along the south-west bank of Lake Burley Griffin. (The lake was created after the Second World War through the blocking, with a dam, of the Molonglo River.)

The area now called Yarralumla is part of two original land grants, which were granted to free settlers for the establishment of farms. In 1828 Henry Donnison, a Sydney merchant who had arrived with his wife and family on the brig Ellen on 29-30 July 1828, was granted an allotment on the western side of Stirling Ridge. A second grant was made to William Klensendorlffe (a German who had served in the British Navy and arrived free in the Colony in 1818), who had bought the land from John Stephen, on 7 March 1839. Donnison's land was named Yarralumla in a survey of the area conducted in 1834. Yarralumla was a name for the area used by the local people, apparently meaning "echo". An area to the west of what is now the suburb was the Yarrolumla parish. The prominent New South Wales parliamentarian Sir Terence Aubrey Murray (1810-1873) purchased Yarralumla in 1837. He lived there with his wife Mary Murray (nιe Gibbes, 1817-1858), the second daughter of the Collector of Customs for NSW, Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes (1787-1873), MLC. In 1859, Murray sold Yarralumla to his brother-in-law, Augustus Onslow Manby Gibbes (1828-1897). Later that same year, Augustus' parents came to live with him at Yarralumla homestead. Augustus Gibbes improved the estate and acquired additional land by purchase and lease. However, In 1881, he sold Yarralumla for 40,000 pounds to Frederick Campbell, a descendant of Robert Campbell, in order to travel overseas. Frederick Campbell erected a new, three-storey, brick house on the site of the former Yarralumla homestead at the beginning of the 1890s. Campbell's house would later form the basis of what is now the Governor-General of Australia's official Canberra residence, known colloquially as "Yarralumla" or "Government House". Campbell also built a large wooden woolshed nearby in 1904. It remains standing to this day. In 1908, the Limestone Plains area, including Yarralumla, was selected as the site for the capital city of the newly established Commonwealth of Australia. Soon afterwards in 1913, the Commonwealth Government purchased the property. Tenant farmers were allowed to stay on the land on annual leases, some remaining until 1963 when the Molonglo River was dammed to form Lake Burley Griffin.
