Pimville Property types
This area, of predominantly low LSM (4-7), reflects a market stock that consists solely of full title properties making up 100% of the total.
In the traditional full-title market, with over 830 property units in this category, we find relatively few sales during the past year, indicating stable market conditions where majority of the property owners are holding onto their homes for many years. Despite this observation we still note 9 successful transfers over this period where average prices ranged from below R 50 000 to close on R 140 000, with an overall average price of R 108 000.
Growth and activity trends confirm a similar average value as above, and despite some erratic movements over the past decade prices have more than tripled over this period. Houses are thus exceptionally priced considering the secure and modest positioning of the area. This is evidenced in nearest town rankings where we note that Pimville zone 1 exhibits average pricing lower than the likes of Pimville zones 2, 5, 6 and 7. On a national level average prices are on par with the likes of Indwe in EC.
