Find the top real estate agents in Shoalhaven

Shoalhaven is a broad coastal and hinterland area where surf beaches, national park bushland and small country towns sit alongside a substantial regional service centre. Nowra is the established hub for health, defence and retail services, while Berry and Milton are known for their heritage main streets and small high streets with cafes and independent shops. Beachside villages such as Mollymook, Ulladulla, Huskisson and Vincentia form the major lifestyle and holiday nodes that set Shoalhaven apart from larger metros. Median prices have edged up gently, up 4.1% on the year to $885,000, the highest level in three years. The median sits just off the cycle high reached in September 2022.

Recent months have seen a steady flow of sea-changers and remote workers looking for more space, supporting buyer interest across both permanent homes and holiday properties. Homes are selling in a median of 60 days, much the same pace as a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 35% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ Strong seasonal tourism and ongoing short-stay demand remain an important influence on investor activity, and improvements to road links along the Princes Highway and upgrades to regional services are reinforcing Nowra's role as the area's main employment and services centre, while coastal management and flood planning are shaping renovation choices in low-lying lake and bayfront pockets.

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 $835,000 sits 5.7% below the broader area median of $885,000, which can reflect the mix of homes they list. Their listings sold in a median of 50 days, 10 days faster than the area's typical 60 days, converting 59.3% of their listings into a successful sale, 8.5 percentage points ahead of the area's 50.8%.

The average commission rate is 1.88% (around $17,000 on a median-priced home). In coastal and regional pockets, 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.
