In terms of R20 million-plus sales, Camps Bay boasted the most with 11 transactions followed by Fresnaye (7 sales), Clifton (5), Bantry Bay (4) and Llandudno (2). Notably, all full title sales in Clifton were above R20 million said the agents.<\/p>\n<p>Over 80% of sales were to local Cape buyers followed by Joburg and foreign buyers who comprise only about 20% of all sales. Llandudno were almost exclusively local buyers.<\/p>\n<p>This follows recent trends, said Seeff, as the most notable price shifts evident over the last five years have been driven by high demand from local Cape buyers and from Joburg (and other wealthy upcountry) buyers rather than foreigners.<\/p>\n<p>Below are six of the most expensive homes for sale in the country, which Seeff also holds a mandate for:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Clifton &#8211;
