How much it costs to buy a home in South Africa’s biggest cities

 ·13 Jul 2017

A recent house price index by FNB found that Capetonians can expect to pay more than R400,000 more for a home than those living in Johannesburg.

As Capetonians also traditionally earn less than those living and working Gauteng, its become increasingly clear that certain suburbs are responsible for the high average price increases.

By looking at the house price data at a city and suburb level, we are able to better determine which areas have the highest average house price.

The data was taken from property listings on Property24. The final amounts are based on a calculation of the total listing price of all listings in a given area, divided by the number of listings.

The data only features residential properties unless otherwise indicated, and is not meant to reflect all the suburbs in a highlighted area or city, but is to be used as a comparative tool.
