Here’s what the latest Property24 trends reveal about the Potchefstroom and Pretoria property markets, and what you can expect heading into the next quarter.

Potchefstroom Property Market: A Buyer-Seller Balance on the Rise

Potchefstroom continues to show strong, stable growth in 2025 - with activity driven by its academic institutions, student housing demand, and growing semigration from Gauteng.

Key Trends:

• Sectional title properties saw over 170 sales in the past 12 months - a clear indicator of strong demand in the lock-up-and-go market segment.

• Median price of freehold homes has risen to R1.25 million, showing positive appreciation and confidence in full-title properties.

• Time on market has decreased, suggesting homes are selling faster and buyers are acting quicker.

This is excellent news for first-time buyers, student accommodation investors, and families wanting proximity to schools and services.

Area Highlights:

• Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park, and Mooivallei Park continue to be top performers for value and lifestyle appeal.

• Entry-level homes under R1 million in suburbs like Miederpark and Central Potchefstroom are moving quickly - ideal for young professionals and parents investing in student digs.

PropWiz Prediction:

Expect stable pricing with strong demand in the R900k – R1.4m range. With student registrations remaining high and an uptick in remote workers relocating for a quieter lifestyle, Potchefstroom will remain a sought-after location in Q3 2025.

Buyers: Now is the time to invest before further upward price movement.
Sellers: Well-priced properties, especially modern or newly renovated homes, are likely to move quickly.

Pretoria Property Market: A City of Suburban Strength and Investment Growth

Pretoria’s vast property landscape offers something for every kind of buyer - from high-density apartments in Arcadia to spacious family homes in Montana Park. And with over 20,000 properties currently listed across price ranges and property types, demand remains active and well-distributed.

Current Market Snapshot:

• 3-Bedroom Homes: ±9,866 properties listed - showing a strong middle-market segment.

• 2-Bedroom Units: ±8,502 listings - popular among small families, young couples, and professionals.

• 1-Bedroom Apartments: ±2,289 listings - often snapped up in central areas like Sunnyside and Hatfield.

PropWiz Area Focus:

We currently list and operate in these key Pretoria suburbs, each with distinct advantages:

• Annlin & Sinoville: Family-friendly, with excellent access to schools, shopping centres, and larger erf sizes.

• Montana, Montana Tuine & Montana Park: Fast-growing zones with modern security estates - ideal for first-time buyers.

• Danville & Doornpoort: High-demand due to affordability and accessibility - prime for investors looking for ROI.

• Sunnyside & Arcadia: Strong rental markets near universities and government offices - sectional title demand remains steady.

• Centurion, Wonderboom & Akasia: Continued residential development alongside commercial growth - good potential for long-term appreciation.

• Cullinan: A lifestyle gem on the rise, with demand for weekend retreats and semi-rural living.

Market Prediction for Q3 2025:

The Pretoria market is showing resilience, with stable demand across northern and central suburbs. Infrastructure upgrades, proximity to key transport routes, and housing diversity will continue to attract buyers - especially in the R850k – R1.8m bracket.

Buyers: Consider suburbs like Doornpoort or Montana for excellent long-term value.
Sellers: Homes with updated finishes and security features are highly attractive to families and professionals alike.

Shared Themes in Both Markets

• Semigration is shaping both Potchefstroom and Pretoria. Buyers relocating from Johannesburg and other metros are looking for quality of life, safety, and affordability.

• Rental demand remains high near universities, business parks, and hospitals - great news for buy-to-let investors.

• Modern, energy-efficient homes are seeing faster sales - solar panels, gas appliances, and low-maintenance gardens are top preferences.
