Find the top real estate agents in Shoalhaven

Shoalhaven is a broad coastal and hinterland area where lifestyle drives demand, with the coastline and bays attracting retirees, sea-change buyers and holiday visitors. Weekend and holiday buyers are drawn to Huskisson, Vincentia and Hyams Beach, while Nowra and Bomaderry act as the local service and employment centres. Median prices have edged up gently, up 2.4% on the year to $870,000, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in September 2022.

Homes are selling in a median of 61 days, much the same pace as a year ago. Significant upgrades to the Princes Highway and other regional links are improving accessibility and gradually widening the buyer catchment, while local debate about short-stay rental settings and coastal management is influencing investor interest and how owners position properties for holiday or long-term letting. Auctions are clearing at 31% over the past year⁽¹⁾, and transaction activity has seen more sales going through, up 5.1% on the year.

Real estate agents in Shoalhaven often emphasise local knowledge and experience and a focused understanding of the local market. This is a fragmented market, with the top 3 agents handling just 7% of sales over the past year. Their median sale of $885,000 is broadly in line with the area median of $870,000. Their listings sold in a median of 52 days, 9 days faster than the area's typical 61 days.

The average commission rate is 1.87% (around $16,000 on a median-priced home). Commission rates can be lower in metro markets because higher property values and denser competition allow tighter margins; in regional areas rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate. Compare their specific track record in your local area, their recent sales volume, and their experience with properties similar to yours.
