The housing market here has seen a steady interest due to its serene environment and proximity to larger urban centers like Darwin, which is just about a 20-minute drive away. This has made Shoal Bay an attractive place for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life while still having convenient access to city amenities. The housing market primarily consists of larger plots and properties with ample land, reflecting its rural setting. These properties often appeal to buyers looking for space, privacy, and the opportunity to engage in semi-rural lifestyles, such as small-scale farming or simply enjoying a more expansive living area.

Shoal Bay is located very near to the coast so expect stunning views of the ocean and access to beaches. Demand is likely to be very strong in this location which will support higher prices

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities.

Over time this may change providsing long-term returns but in the short to medium term, prices are likely to be less than state averages.
