How our real estate agent made a record sale in Mount Barker
The median house price in Mount Barker is sitting at $740,000 (as of July 2025). The suburb is experiencing record-high growth, up 11.3% in the past 12 months.
But there are homes selling well above this and it’s better to get sales stats directly from your local real estate agent. The best way to do this is through a property appraisal, which our team can help you with.
Here’s why.
Even with Mount Barker’s median house price sitting at $740,000, we sold a property for $926,000.
20 Tarra Circuit, Mount Barker. The house is in the Springlake community, where we broke the record for a three-bedroom home sale in the immediate area.
Property Consultant and lead agent, James Kemp, shared the strategy he used to sell this home well-above the asking price.
Hear how James approached this sale.
In short:
- Being honest and open with the seller (always keeping it real)
- Understanding price expectations and marrying it with the market value/sentiment
- Coaching the client through the sale, especially as a lot of questions and emotions come up.
Of the 30 groups, we managed three offers. This record result highlights how important the relationship piece is, as well as incredible market knowledge and sales skills. Often, it’s the relationship that will get a sale over the line – whether that’s pricing appropriately (and trusting the agent), appealing to an emotional buyer or launching to an exclusive list of warm buyers.
