This year’s Top 50 Agents 2026 ranking for South Australia and the Northern Territory has shown that the value of properties settled surged by $1.2 billion year on year.
For the sixth consecutive year, REB has released the Top 50 Agents South Australia and the Northern Territory (SA/NT) ranking, with support from its partner, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CommBank).
The Top 50 Agents SA/NT 2026 ranking provides industry-wide recognition to the leading lights of the real estate industry in South Australia and the Northern Territory across metropolitan, regional, and rural areas who set the benchmark for excellence. The rankings empower more agents to win listings.
The agents also helped set strong professional standards in these states while achieving phenomenal sales figures.
Indeed, the top 50 agents in SA/NT settled 5,237 properties, valued at $5.8 billion, in 2025. The total value represents a 26.2 per cent increase on 2024, when they settled 4,656 properties for over $4.6 billion.
Similarly, the top 10 agents settled 1,423 properties for $2.0 billion in 2025, up from 1,199 properties for $1.6 billion in 2024.
These figures reflect trends in the property market in both South Australia and the Northern Territory last year.
According to research from Cotality, Adelaide home values increased by 8.2 per cent in the year to November 2025, while regional SA home values jumped by 10.4 per cent. This growth was attributed to persistently low stock levels and affordable segments. The Northern Territory recorded the strongest price growth among the states and territories, with home values rising by 15.1 per cent.
The results in the ranking were positive across the board, with agents settling more residential properties on average last year compared to prior years. The top 50 agents settled an average of 105.0 properties in 2025 (up from 93.0 in 2024), while the top 10 agents settled an average of 142.0 properties in 2025, compared to 120.0 in 2024.
The average value of properties settled also increased from $92.6 million in 2024 to $116.8 million in 2025 across the top 50, and from $162.8 million in 2024 to an impressive $200.8 million in 2025 across the top 10 agents.
As property prices surged in SA/NT, so too did the average sales prices of the ranked agents. The top 50 agents settled properties for an average price of $1.2 million in 2025, up from $1.1 million in 2024. The average sales price increased by 6.5 per cent across the top 10 agents from $1.4 million in 2024 to $1.5 million in 2025.
Properties spent an average of 26.0 days on market across the top 10 (up from 20.0 days in 2024) and 28.0 days across the top 50 agents (up from 25.0 days).
The data also provided insights into the profiles of the ranked agents, with both the top 50 and top 10 agents averaging 13.0 years of industry experience. The top 50 had an average of around two support staff, while the top 10 agents had almost three support staff.
Agents applauded for their achievements
CommBank real estate banking lead Monique McCullough said CommBank is delighted to once again partner with the rankings, recognising the exceptional performance, leadership and professionalism demonstrated across Australia’s real estate industry.
“The real estate industry plays a critical role in the Australian economy, and at CommBank, we recognise our responsibility to support the agents, principals, and businesses who underpin strong communities nationwide,” McCullough said.
“We’ll continue to invest in specialist expertise, digital capability, and industry‑led innovation to help you navigate change, unlock opportunity and build stronger, more resilient businesses. Our ongoing partnership with REB reflects a shared commitment to recognising excellence and celebrating those who set the national benchmark for performance.”
“Congratulations to all ranked agents on this outstanding achievement, and thank you for the contribution you make to your customers, communities and the broader Australian economy.”
REB editor Liam Garman also weighed in, saying these agents have set a very high benchmark for aspiring agents to emulate.
“The agents in South Australia and the Northern Territory have read the market and implemented effective strategies to make the most of high buyer demand, and I commend them for it,” Garman said.
“The top 50 agents have shown what is possible when you ingrain yourself in your local area, understand buyer appetite, and help vendors sell properties at the best possible price. I commend every agent who has secured a ranking this year.”
REB’s Top 50 Agents SA/NT ranking is compiled by Agile Market Intelligence, the research arm of parent company Momentum Media (which also owns REB).
This year’s ranking was assessed using transparent, performance-based metrics drawn from the agents’ 2025 calendar-year results. These include the total dollar value of settled residential sales, the number of properties settled, and the average sales price. Other supporting performance indicators include days on market and years of experience.
