Pretoria property guide

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.

Millennials are increasingly heading to the property market according to agents from the Seeff Property Group. Data from Lightstone confirms that this buyer demographic now comprises upwards of 30% to 42% of all property purchasers, especially in the main urban areas.

According to Lightstone data, Pretoria achieved some 29,828 transfers worth over R38.7 billion during the 2022-year at an average selling price of R1.2 million. About 75% of all transactions fall below R1.5 million with only just under 6% of the market falling above R3 million.
