🏡 **JEFFREYS BAY PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE | AUGUST 2026** 🌊
As we say goodbye to August, here's a snapshot of what's happening in the **Jeffreys Bay property market**.
📊 **PROPERTY STOCK**
The latest available monthly data shows that property stock has been gradually declining.
🏠 March 2026: 4,212 properties listed
🏠 April 2026: 4,030
🏠 May 2026: 3,971
🏠 June 2026: 3,846
🏠 July 2026: 3,751
That's an approximate **11% reduction in listed stock since March**.
Three- and four-bedroom homes have also seen a noticeable reduction in available stock, which is encouraging for sellers with well-positioned and correctly priced properties.
🔑 **RECENT SALES ACTIVITY**
Recent concluded transactions show buyers are active across a wide range of price points—from vacant land and entry-level homes through to premium coastal properties.
As August Deeds Office registrations are still being processed, final registered August sales figures will only become clearer over the coming weeks.
🏘️ **RENTAL MARKET**
Rental demand remains active in Jeffreys Bay.
There are currently approximately **126 rental listings** advertised on Property24, including houses, apartments and townhouses.
Quality, well-maintained long-term rental homes—particularly correctly priced family homes—continue to attract tenant enquiries.
💰 **INTEREST RATE UPDATE**
Repo Rate: **7.00%**
Prime Lending Rate: **10.50%**
Interest rates remain an important consideration for buyers, but opportunities are available for purchasers who have their finances in order and are ready to negotiate.
💡 **PROPERTY TIP OF THE MONTH**
**Price for today's market—not yesterday's expectations.**
Buyers have access to more property information than ever before and quickly compare your home with competing properties.
A property that enters the market at the correct price has the best opportunity to attract serious buyers while the listing is still fresh.
🌊 **KIM'S MARKET VIEW**
Jeffreys Bay continues to offer an incredible variety of property—from apartments and starter homes to family properties, retirement options and luxury coastal living.
With available stock gradually reducing, correctly priced and well-presented properties should be well positioned as we move into **spring and the final quarter of 2026**.
Thinking of **selling, buying or renting?**
Let's chat about what's happening in your particular area and what your property could achieve in the current market.
