Selling Houses Australia is a reality and lifestyle television program from Australia, adapted from the UK series Selling Houses. The show centers on homeowners facing difficulties in selling their properties. It is hosted by real estate specialist and author Andrew Winter, who also led the original British edition. The team features landscaper Dennis Scott and interior design professional Wendy Moore of The Interiors Edit, who joined from season 14 onwards, succeeding Charlie Albone and Shaynna Blaze. Their approach involves evaluating the homes, undertaking renovations to boost market appeal and sale potential, followed by listing the properties. Production is handled exclusively for Foxtel by WBITVP.

Between 2009 and 2014, the series received several ASTRA Awards, including honors for Most Outstanding Lifestyle Program and Viewers' Favourite Program. In 2013, it ranked as the highest-rated show on the LifeStyle Channel and was the leading regular program on Pay TV. The seventh season in 2014 achieved Foxtel’s record for highest viewership, with an average of 603,000 viewers per episode and a reach of 2.6 million unique viewers—accounting for 37% of Foxtel's subscriber base.

In 2014, a five-part special titled Inside Selling Houses Australia aired, featuring reflections by Winter, Albone, and Blaze on seven years of property transformations.

The free-to-air Seven Network obtained broadcasting rights starting from season five in 2016. The twelfth season debuted in March 2019, marking the show as the most successful locally produced program in Australian subscription television history.

Charlie Albone departed in 2020 to join Seven Network’s Better Homes and Gardens, leading to a search for a new landscaper. In 2021, Shaynna Blaze left due to scheduling conflicts. Following this, former House Rules judge Wendy Moore and ex-NRL player turned landscape designer Dennis Scott became part of the cast beginning with season 14, which premiered in March 2022. Subsequent seasons launched with season fifteen in March 2023, season sixteen in March 2024, and season seventeen scheduled for March 2025.
