How Much Does It Cost to Sell a House in Mackay? (2026 Guide)

If you are thinking about selling in Mackay, the first question is usually "what will it cost me?" The answer has several parts, and knowing them upfront helps you budget and negotiate with confidence.

1. Agent commission

In Queensland commission is not fixed by law – it is negotiated and recorded in your appointment of agent. It is only payable when the property sells. Ask any agent for their rate in writing and what it includes.

2. Marketing

Professional photography, a signboard, listings on realestate.com.au and Domain, social media promotion and copywriting typically cost from several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the campaign. Good marketing usually returns far more than it costs through stronger buyer competition.

3. Conveyancing and legal fees

A solicitor or conveyancer prepares the contract, handles searches and manages settlement. Fees vary, so obtain a quote early.

4. Other costs

Mortgage discharge fees, pre-sale repairs or styling, and – for some sellers – capital gains tax on an investment property. Your accountant can advise on tax.

How to keep selling costs down

Price correctly from day one (reducing days on market), present the home well, and choose an agent on results and communication rather than the lowest commission. A&P Realty provides a written, itemised cost estimate with every free appraisal.
