In Wadeye there has been a history of lower than average prices and demand, offering opportunities for investors or first home owners, especially in the context of the growth in working from home.

Post-COVID and the growth in working from home has lessened the demand for local employment options. This may make Wadeye a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
