randburg property prices

Let’s consider for a moment the Randburg property trends.  Over the last 5 years and thanks to P24, it’s pretty astounding when we consider the total number of properties sold in the last 5 years.  It’s also very interesting to see the differences between the asking prices and the sold prices.  Insight into the Randburg property trends will be valuable if you are considering the sale of your property.

Randburg property trends by asking prices

The most important thing to get right when you decide to sell is to get an accurate market-related price for your property.  What is interesting to note for 2021 is that the total average asking price for Randburg properties is noted at R1,525,250.  This is still down from the 5-year high in 2018 which is noted at R1,545,000.

Randburg property trends by sold prices

Also interesting is that when considering the Randburg property trends are the sold prices.  These are more often than not sold at below the asking price.  The average Randburg property sold price is R1,350,000.  This is a whopping R175,250 below the asking price.  This means there has been an 89% drop between the asking price and the sold prices.  And this gap is widening.

What does this all mean?

Using the Randburg property trends and when you sell your property, 1 of 2 things can happen:

  • Sellers push harder for a higher price.
  • An agent guides a seller, using extensive research to identify a correct market-related price for your property.

Make sure your property is listed at the right price. Remember there’s a drop between the asking price and the actual sales price.  Almost a 20% to 30% drop or more in some areas.

But don’t build in fat with your asking price…

In SA and certainly in the Randburg property sector it’s a buyer’s market.  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 your property for sale in Randburg

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 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 Randburg, 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 a property undercover if you own a unit in a complex or estate.  We distill it all down to the cost per square meter.  We also use suburb, complex, and street reports which helps to determine the right price when you sell your property.
  • Current Property Market: This confirms what the prices are for properties on the market at the moment. We compare like with like (a 450 square meter property vs 96 square meter property).  We also tuck into the detail which highlights the features of a property.  It all comes down to the cost per square meter.  To check 2 of the most prominent property portals click here for P24 and Private Property.
  • Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) will show you all the information I have outlined above.  You will know how and where we got our numbers from.  Seasoned agents are disciplined & transparent about how we got to the numbers.  It’s not just a price range on a branded letterhead.
