Real estate agents in Alkimos
Sharree Hutchinson
Alkimos keeps giving buyers more reasons to head north. There’s the coastline, newer family homes, schools and parks, plus a train station that now puts Perth around 40 minutes away by rail. The suburb is also still developing, with more retail, recreation and community infrastructure taking shape around Alkimos Central. That growth has also brought plenty of newer housing stock, giving buyers a lot to compare.
If you need a real estate agent in Alkimos, Sharree Hutchinson serves the area with 15 years of property experience and an approach built around clear advice. She believes in strong communication and helping sellers work out where to focus their efforts at every stage of a campaign.
Selling property in Alkimos
Alkimos is a relatively young suburb, but its housing market already has plenty of variety.
Buyers can choose between near-new family homes, established properties in earlier stages of the suburb, low-maintenance designs and larger coastal homes closer to the water.
Sharree has recent experience selling in Alkimos, including the $925,000 sale of a four-bedroom home on Chateau Avenue, along with newer and larger coastal homes across the suburb.
She looks at how a home compares with what else is available, where buyers are showing interest and which features give the property an edge.
When there are plenty of options on the market, buyers tend to know what their money can get them.
Alkimos has grown up quickly
Anyone who hasn’t been this far north for a while might be surprised by how much has changed. Alkimos Station opened as part of the Yanchep Line extension in 2024, connecting the suburb directly with Perth by train. Around it, Alkimos Central is continuing to develop as a new town centre, with retail, recreation, public spaces and other services planned or underway.
Closer to the coast, communities such as Shorehaven and Alkimos Beach have their own parks, schools, shops and places to eat, with the Indian Ocean never far away.
For many buyers, the appeal is the chance to get a newer home close to the coast, with schools, parks and everyday amenities nearby. Some prioritise beach access and outdoor space, while others are looking closely at the size, age and finish of the home itself. Investors have another set of considerations again, including price, rent and the area’s continued growth.
Where your property sits within the mix can influence the way it should be marketed.
Standing out among newer homes
Selling in a newer suburb brings an interesting challenge: a lot of the competition can look pretty good online.
Modern kitchens, open-plan living, double garages and low-maintenance outdoor areas are common in Alkimos. Buyers may be scrolling through several homes that tick much the same boxes before deciding which ones deserve an inspection.
Sharree looks for the features that separate a property from the pack and helps bring those forward in the campaign. A better floorplan, extra living space, side access, solar, a larger block, ocean views or an easy walk to the beach can all tick boxes for buyers.
Getting ready for market
Sharree’s sellers regularly mention the work that happens before a property is listed. That includes advice on pricing and strategy, but also helping owners decide where their time and money are best spent when preparing a home for sale.
One seller described Sharree as knowing where to focus their efforts and giving them plenty of options in the lead-up to the campaign. Another summed up the experience rather neatly as “quick, easy and no BS”. Hard to argue with that.
Before selling, it can be tempting to fix, replace or improve everything at once. Sharree can help identify what buyers are likely to notice, what could strengthen the presentation and where further spending may add little to the campaign.
Once the decisions are made, everyone knows what needs to be done before the listing goes live.
Keeping the campaign moving
There’s a lot between putting up a listing and putting on that satisfying SOLD sticker.
There are enquiries to follow up, home opens to manage, buyer feedback to make sense of and offers to assess. In a market with plenty of competing stock, it also pays to keep an eye on what’s changing around you.
Sharree’s client reviews consistently point to communication as one of her strengths. Sellers describe her as responsive and proactive, with clear advice throughout preparation, marketing, negotiation and settlement.
She works with the wider Xceed Real Estate team across photography, advertising, administration and the other parts of the campaign, while remaining the seller’s main point of contact. You always know who you’re dealing with and what’s happening with the sale.
Understanding the Alkimos market
Alkimos has recorded strong recent price growth, but a suburb-wide number is still only a starting point when you’re valuing an individual home.
Age, build quality, block size, upgrades and location within the suburb can all affect what buyers are prepared to pay. So can the number and quality of comparable properties available at the same time.
A home within easy reach of the coast may sit differently from one further inland, while build age, block size and upgrades can separate otherwise similar properties.
Sharree looks at recent comparable sales, competition and buyer response alongside the property itself to build a realistic view of the market.
Online estimates can be useful, but local context is what plugs the gaps.
