time to sell a property

If you’re asking yourself, “How long will it take to sell my home in Randburg?” — you’re not alone. With buyer interest rising and serious purchasers actively searching, timing your listing right can make a significant difference.

At Cornerstone Homes, we’ve had countless conversations with homeowners across Randburg suburbs — from Malanshof, Boskruin, Bromhof, Ferndale, Robindale, Randpark and more, who want clarity and a little more certainty on the Time to sell a property in Randburg.  And, honestly, it’s not a number we can guarantee.  But here is the truth, “the Randburg property market is performing well and we do have an idea of how long it is generally taking to sell a freestanding house or a sectional title.  But in most cases, when it is priced right, even in a 10-year high, a property WILL SELL.

But we need stock, and we have buyers who are really desperate to find and view some new stock.  Why – well, we all hibernate in Winter. 

Buyer Demand Is High, But Listing Stock Is Low

Right now, we’re seeing a shortage of good quality homes on the market — and it’s starting to slow down highly motivated buyers who are ready, qualified, and pre-approved.

But make no mistake — the demand hasn’t dropped. If anything, buyers are more serious than ever, waiting for the right homes to become available. This means:

  • Well-priced homes are selling quickly, and that’s anything from 1 day to 7 weeks.  Yes, 1 day and that speaks to pent-up demand from buyers.
  • Sellers who list now have a clear advantage before the spring listing rush

Randburg Property Prices at 10-Year Highs

In 2025, Randburg’s real estate market has reached a 10-year high in average sales prices, particularly for freestanding homes in suburbs like Boskruin, and Malanshof, and there are a few others, and this property price growth has been fueled by:

  • Increased buyer confidence.
  • Favourable interest rates.
  • A consistent lack of really good quality stock.
  • A lack of well-priced stock, which just leads to low offers in line with what the market will be willing to pay.
  • This puts today’s sellers in a powerful position, especially those who act before the usual spring and summer surge of listings hits the market.

Here’s what the real data and our on-the-ground experience is showing in Randburg right now:

  • Well-maintained homes in popular suburbs often receive interest within the first 10–14 days of listing.
  • Best Performers: Properties priced between R2 million – R3.5 million in Boskruin, Fairland, and Randpark Ridge are moving quickly.

Time to Sell a Property in Randburg (A Sectional Title Property)

  • Average Time to Sell: 4 to 7 weeks.
  • Why: Apartments and townhouses attract investors, first-time buyers, and downsizers, but pricing must be accurate and levies reasonable.

Important Pricing Tip:

Although quite a few suburbs in Randburg are showing 10-year highs, buyers are savvy and they have done their homework.  An overpriced home or sectional title unit is sitting on the market for much longer than it should.  When that happens, all sorts of other things go wrong.  Price it right and we will sell it fast.  We have sold 40% of our homes for Cornerstone Homes in the first 6 weeks of listing.  The right pricing strategy is key.

Now Is a Fantastic Time to List

Why?

  • Serious buyers are already searching.
  • You’ll beat the spring ‘seller surge’.
  • Stock remains low, which means less competition, and we really do need your stock.
