If you've been wondering what your property could sell for, an online estimate or a neighbour's recent sale price can give you a rough idea — but it doesn't tell the whole story.

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) compares your property with similar homes in the area to provide a realistic indication of its current market value.

Recent sales are particularly important.
They show what buyers have actually paid for comparable homes, rather than what sellers are hoping to achieve.

Current listings provide another useful reference.
Pricing, condition and presentation all influence how a property compares with the competition.

Location and individual features also matter.
Renovations, stand size, parking, views and the overall condition of a home can all affect its market position.

A CMA can also highlight broader trends, including buyer demand, available stock and how quickly similar properties are selling.

The result is a more realistic indication of where a property sits in the market — useful whether you're considering selling now or simply planning. If you are thinking about your property's value, a professional CMA can provide a useful starting point.

The latest FNB Property Barometer points to a gradual cooling in South Africa's residential property market, with house price growth easing as higher borrowing costs continue to weigh on demand.

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀
Annual house price growth eased to 5.2% in June, down from 5.7% in May. FNB expects growth to slow further towards 4% by the end of 2026, reflecting softer economic conditions, higher borrowing costs and weaker consumer confidence.

𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲-𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀
Affordability continues to influence buyer behaviour. While slower price growth may offer some relief, borrowing costs remain an important part of the overall cost of owning a home.

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱
The supply of homes coming onto the market remains relatively constrained, while new residential development is subdued. FNB's Market Strength Index shows that demand still marginally exceeds supply, with properties taking an average of around 10 weeks and three days to sell.

𝗥𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
The rental market continues to perform relatively well, with national rental inflation reaching 4.1% year-on-year in June.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀
For sellers, realistic pricing is increasingly important as buyers remain mindful of affordability. For buyers, slower price growth could provide more room for negotiation, although securing the right finance remains key.

Finding a Home That Fits

Finding the right home is about more than bedrooms and bathrooms. It’s about finding a property that suits the way you live, in a location that feels right.

Whether you're looking for your first home, more space for the family or a change of neighbourhood, having a clear idea of what matters most can make the search much easier.

If a move is on your horizon, let's start the conversation.

A cluttered home environment can lead to stress and reduced efficiency, making it difficult to find things and relax fully. While tackling the entire house can feel overwhelming, focusing on one high-impact area, such as the pantry or the hall cupboard, can provide a quick and satisfying result. Good organisation not only improves the appearance of a room but also helps you better utilise the storage space you already possess.

Here are five actionable steps to start your organisation project today:
𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲
Select one specific area, such as a kitchen drawer, a storage cupboard or one wall of the garage, to concentrate your efforts.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Empty the chosen area. Clean the space thoroughly before returning anything, creating a fresh start.

𝗦𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲
Create three piles: Keep, Discard and Donate. Be ruthless with items you haven't used in over a year or those that are broken.

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀
Organise the 'Keep' pile by function (e.g. all baking items together, all tools together) and purchase appropriate storage containers.

𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Ensure every item has a specific, easily accessible place. This makes putting things away simple and prevents future clutter accumulation.

Evicting unlawful occupiers could soon become a less complicated process for property owners, with government currently proposing the most significant overhaul of eviction laws in decades.

The changes aim to make the eviction process clearer, faster and more consistent, but they stop short of tipping the balance in favour of property owners, with constitutional protections for unlawful occupiers remaining in place.

The proposed Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Amendment Bill will update the current act. It will achieve this by giving courts clearer guidelines for making rulings on eviction cases, introducing tougher penalties for organised land invasions and creating a more structured approach to alternative accommodation.

The amended Act also aims to reduce delays in eviction cases. It also introduces the possibility of a fast-tracked eviction process for landlords who can prove that they are suffering undue financial hardship.

The Bill also proposes significantly tougher penalties for organised land invasions. Anyone who incites, arranges or organises unlawful occupations could face up to five years' imprisonment (up from the current maximum of two years), even if they did not receive any financial benefit.

The Amendment Bill is open for public comment until 6 August 2026. Read more: https://iol.co.za/business/property/2026-07-14-what-south-africas-proposed-eviction-law-changes-could-mean-for-property-owners/
