Real estate agents in Lightsview.
A suburb since 2016 · SA 5085
Wemark Real Estate sells, leases and manages homes in Lightsview, 2.4 km from our office in Blair Athol. Across Adelaide we secured 170 tenancies in the twelve months to October 2026. The median house price here was $905,000 in July to September 2026, across 28 settled sales, according to the South Australian Valuer-General.
Lightsview only became a suburb in April 2016, carved from parts of Northgate, Greenacres and Northfield. It is the block bounded by Hampstead Road, Redward Avenue, Fosters Road and Folland Avenue, about eight kilometres north of the city and under three kilometres from our office.
Most of it is the Lightsview development, a partnership between CIC Australia and the state’s Renewal SA that began in 2006 and was extended in 2013 onto the old Ross Smith Secondary School site, so most homes here are less than twenty years old. It is one of the busiest house markets around us.

House prices
in Lightsview
The median price of houses that sold in Lightsview, from the South Australian Valuer-General's record of every settled sale. These are the figures for Jul–Sep 2026, updated each quarter.
A quarterly median moves with whichever homes happened to sell, so one quarter can swing. The line over five years is the better guide.

Property management fees in Lightsview
Most Adelaide agencies charge 9% to 11% of the rent collected. Wemark Real Estate charges 6.6% including GST, with no statement fees, no maintenance handling fees and no exit fees. The median weekly rent for a house leased in Lightsview in April to June 2026 was $665, from 50 new leases. On that rent, the management fee alone comes to:
| Management fee | A year on $665 a week |
|---|---|
| 11%, the top of the Adelaide range | $3,804 |
| 9%, the bottom of the Adelaide range | $3,112 |
| Wemark, 6.6% including GST | $2,282 |
That is $830 to $1,522 a year less than the usual range on a typical Lightsview house. The other charges are fixed: a letting fee of 1.5 weeks’ rent plus GST when we place a new tenant ($1,097 on this rent), $33 a routine inspection, $55 for entry and exit inspections, $299 a lease renewal and $12 a month admin, all including GST. Every fee is on our property management fee schedule and in the agreement before you sign.
