Property Watch - 3 Properties for sale in Pretoria
Pretoria remains one of the most accessible South African cities for buyers across all price bands because it offers a wide selection of property types, including security complexes and estates. In addition, it boasts highly desirable leisure and lifestyle options, outstanding medical facilities, excellent schools, and first-class tertiary education, including the University of Pretoria, the University of South Africa, and the Tshwane University of Technology.
Reports show that the 18-35 age group accounts for nearly 30% of all home buyers, which bodes well for future-proofing the city’s residential property market. Data shows that the average purchase price for first-time buyers in the Greater Pretoria area was almost R1.4 million for the 12 months ending April 2023.
The 36-49 age group accounted for just over 38% of homebuyers in the past year, suggesting that the city is also popular with families wanting to be close to schools and educational opportunities.
Many new developments and apartment complexes are coming to market to meet local buyers’ needs. In 2021, Lightstone already reported that Pretoria had one of the highest percentages of sectional title sales of all South African metros.
As the seat of South Africa’s executive branch of government and therefore many government departments, as well as hosting numerous foreign embassies and consulates, many parts of Pretoria are perceived to provide peace for residents in and around these areas, who benefit from improved security measures.
To many, Pretoria also appeals because it offers a slower pace of living compared with Johannesburg, while still providing plenty by way of arts and culture, leisure, and entertainment. Its location also makes it easy to get away for holidays or short breaks to the bushveld, Lowveld, KZN, or any of several neighbouring countries. Pretoria really has it all.
