Sunningdale Property Market
As a property practitioner we constantly have to evaluate what is happening in the market and also self evaluate our role therein. Sunningdale has seen a more than 7,5% growth in prices in 12 months with the average listing price for a free standing home being R2,9m now and the average list price being R2,7m about 7% difference. When a property is correctly priced for the market sales should occur within 3% of the listing price.
This brings me to the question what is driving prices up? Demand, sellers or property practitioners?
Currently in Sunningdale the price per square metre ranges between R17500 to R30000. What is also interesting to note is that the older smaller homes under 100m2 are achieving the higher Rand per square metre and the bigger newer homes topping out at around R20000pm2 but not always achieving this.
The cost of building continues to increase so to replace these properties would cost more. Anyone who has recently renovated can attest to this.
So why the huge difference in price per square metre? Surely this puts your average home buyer in a worse situation as the starter home is unaffordable.
This I believe has also driven up the rental prices and lack of stock.
With this said back to my original question who is contributing to this unique situation demand, sellers or property practitioners? Would love to hear your thoughts.
