It doesn't cost the (red) earth to buy a house for sale in Alice Springs

Drop a pin in the most Aussie place imaginable and Alice Springs would have to come close.

Immortalised in a Midnight Oil song, revered for its surrounding ancient landscape and close to the heart of Arrernte people, the traditional custodians, Alice Springs is a famous name but it doesn’t cost the (red) earth to live there.

Prices have gotten cheaper in the remote Northern Territory town, in the desert between Adelaide and Darwin, over the last 12 months.

The median house price has taken a dive of 10.9 per cent. However, the median is up over five years, by 4.5 per cent, Domain House Price Report (March 2024) figures show.

The median house price in Alice Springs is $490,000.
