The average management fee across the eastern seaboard was 6.30% in FY25, down slightly from 6.89% the previous year. This reflects modest compression in metro markets like Sydney and Melbourne, where competitive pressure and flat-fee structures remain common.
Despite this, many regional portfolios continued to transact with fees above 7%, helping maintain healthy averages overall. The highest fee recorded was 8.95% for a North Queensland portfolio, while the lowest was 3.74% in Western Sydney.
As the cost to deliver property management services rises, more agencies are re-evaluating their pricing models, and we expect even greater focus on fee structure heading into FY26.
