Let’s consider the Boskruin property prices, over the last 5 years. Thanks to P24, it’s pretty astounding when we consider the total number of properties sold in the last 5 years. It’s also interesting when considering the differences between the Boksruin asking prices against the actual Boskruin property prices.
Number of Boskruin properties sold
It’s astounding to note that in the Randburg property sector for the last 5-years there have already been a total of 669 properties sold in the Boskruin area. And with under a ¼ of the year to go for 2021, Boskruin property sales with 3 months to go is 137. This accounts for a 20% volume over the last 5-years.
Current Boskruin asking prices 2021
The most important thing to get right when you decide to sell is, to get an accurate free property valuation for your property in Boskruin. What is interesting to note for 2021 is that the total average asking price for Randburg properties for 2021 is R2,099,000. This is down from the 2020 high of R2,224,500.
Boskruin property sold prices 2021
Interestingly when properties in Boskruin are sold, they are more often than not sold at below the asking price by almost 15%. The average Boskruin sold price for 2021 is R1,860,000. This is a whopping R239,000 below the current asking price for 2021. This means there has been an 11% drop between the asking price and the sold prices. And this gap is widening and over 5-years this drop is just under 15% over this period.
Need to sell a property in Boskruin, what does this mean?
Essentially when you work with an agent to sell your home, 1 of 2 things can happen:
- The seller may be adamant about the sales price.
- The seller may with the guidance of a good estate agent, list at the right price to ensure a quick sale.
Basically, when you list your home at a reasonable asking price and I speak to properties sold by agents who know what they are doing, there is a drop between the asking price and the actual sales price.
But don’t build in fat with your asking price…
In SA and certainly in the Boskruin property market is a buyer’s market, currently. This means that there is more stock on the market than there are buyers. And right now buyers want to buy a palace but pay for a Pandokkie. The market is tough, and buyers are even more demanding than ever before. A seasoned Randburg estate agent will know how to negotiate on your behalf before presenting you with an offer that is just way below a realistic or market-related price.
Pricing a property for sale in the Boskruin area
As estate agents working for Keller Williams, we have access to the latest and greatest tools and technology to assist with the process of pricing your property in Boskruin, Randburg. Let’s look at the tools that a good estate agent will follow:
- The Lightstone Property Valuation Toolkit: This is essential to a good estate agent in Boskruin, and this will provide valuable information about what buyers have paid for properties in the same area or with similar features like the size of a stand if you own a freestanding house. Or the size of property undercover if you own a unit in a complex or estate. All the numbers are distilled to a cost per square meter.
- The Lightstone Property Valuation Toolkit (Suburb, Complex, and Street Reports): Also provides a seasoned and successful estate agent with the suburb and complex reports. We can also home in on a more granular level to see the transfer history on a street. And there can be no doubt that these tools all work together to provide you with an accurate market-related price when we value your property.
- Current Property Market: This confirms what the prices are for properties on the market at the moment. We compare like with like, meaning you cannot compare a 450 square meter property to a 96 square meter property. Also, here you will really want to tuck into the detail that will highlight 3 or 4 bedrooms, 1 or 3 bathrooms, the number of garages the inclusion of a pool, etc. This all gets distilled down to the cost per square meter.
- Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): This is often when many agents fall flat. They go on gut feel and don’t share the information about how they arrived at your valuation. This is just unacceptable and lazy. Your Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) as it’s referred to will show you all the information I have outlined above and provide you with the comfort of knowing that you are not dealing with a cowboy.
