Selling
Selling in West Nowra
Value in West Nowra comes down to the house and the land: the age and condition of the home, the block size and slope, and whether a street backs onto bush, which brings bushfire planning into it. We price from recent nearby sales rather than the Nowra median, and sell in the Shoalhaven from our office at Shell Cove.
Renting it out instead? We manage rental homes in West Nowra too, where houses in the postcode lease for around $570 a week.
