Rondebosch | Interest rate cut ahead signals a good time for sellers

With the potential of an interest rate cut coming in the next two months, the property market looks set for an uptick, and a potential return of some exuberance both to the economy, and property market. That means that now may well be an ideal time for sellers to put their properties on the market.

Rondebosch is enjoying another phenomenal year, providing excellent opportunities for sellers. Propstats data shows that for 2024 to date there have already been 46 sales of full title homes concluded at a total value of almost R265 million. Almost 40% of all sales have been concluded for within 5%-6% of the asking price.

The average price for a full title house now stands at R5.7 million. 52% of this year's sales fall below R5 million while 6 sales have been concluded above R10 million. The highest prices achieved include R10.2M (Esmar Street), R10.5M (Portland Road), R11.062M (Silwood Road), and R20.6M (Wood Road).

Rondebosch offers a compelling property investment proposition, and excellent prospects for sellers especially as we head towards the busier summer selling season. Aside from service delivery, the suburb benefits from access to top schools and UCT, as well as the convenience of a host of amenities.

Residents enjoy a desirable lifestyle with beautiful green spaces and a vibrant community, making it an appealing place to live. These factors combined create a robust property market for those seeking long-term capital growth. It is also a popular rental market, thus offering potential for investors to earn good rental returns.
