At the broader regency level, in the case of Parigi Moutong kabupaten, the real estate market in rural and semi-urban settlements is typically moderate and determined by local demand.

Under Indonesian law, foreign individuals and companies cannot hold ownership rights over Indonesian land; long-term lease agreements (legbér) and restrictive arrangements are possible, however these do not represent a primary investment focus area in Central Sulawesi province and its rural settlements. Apart from local investment, virtually no foreign capital flows into this settlement.
Safety and security
There are no publicly available concrete data on public safety specific to Sejoli. At the Parigi Moutong regency level, this area enjoys a relatively stable security situation compared to other Central Sulawesi regions, although remote rural and semi-peninsular settlements generally face varying degrees of logistical, public service, and law enforcement supervision challenges. Among Indonesian rural regions, this sector is not classified as a high-risk zone. Local communities are generally tightly knit socially, which contributes to maintaining local harmony. Travelers are advised to observe general Indonesian travel precautions, such as carefully guarding their valuables, avoiding nighttime road travel, and maintaining regular consultation with local authorities.

There are no recorded data on specific tourist attractions at the settlement level of Sejoli cited in sources. At the Parigi Moutong regency level, however, the region's natural potential is significant: the marine ecosystems of Tomini Bay, and the marine fauna and flora of the Sulawesi Island coastline can be explored in the surrounding waters. Moutong District, to which Sejoli belongs, partly functions as a carrier of this region's historical and ethnic diversity. In Central Sulawesi regions of Indonesia, tourist interest is typically based on cultural traditions maintained by local communities, fishing practices, and observation of the natural environment.
