Parow North Market Update – October 2025
Parow North Market Update – October 2025
Insights from Verified BestAgent Agent, Lesley Adamson
At BestAgent.co.za, we regularly connect with top-performing agents across South Africa to bring sellers real insights into their local property markets. This month, we asked Lesley Adamson, a verified agent in Parow North, for his perspective on current trends in the area.
Demand is Shifting
According to Lesley, rental demand in the Northern Suburbs is “on fire.” Families moving from other provinces are choosing to rent first, which is keeping vacancy rates exceptionally low. Well-located family homes priced between R16,000 and R26,000 per month are especially competitive.
On the sales side, Parow North continues to benefit from Cape Town’s overall growth of around 8.5% year-on-year. Stock, however, is limited, and buyers are more selective. Well-priced homes still move, while overpriced listings tend to linger.
What’s Moving Fastest?
Lesley points out that the strongest activity is happening in the entry- to mid-market segments:
2-bedroom apartments around R1m – R1.3m
2–3 bedroom townhouses in the R1.8m – R2.5m range
Family homes priced from R2.5m – R4m, provided they’re well presented
Premium properties above R4m attract fewer buyers, but homes with standout features can still secure offers.
Pricing Strategy is Key
Lesley emphasises that setting the right asking price is crucial. Sellers should look at comparable recent sales and launch at a price point that generates momentum. He notes that even small improvements — fresh paint, landscaping, or decluttering — can significantly improve buyer perception and shorten time on market.
Advice for Sellers
When preparing to sell, Lesley recommends:
Boosting curb appeal with simple upgrades.
Decluttering and staging key rooms.
Taking care of minor repairs before listing.
Using professional photography and video marketing to stand out.
The Bottom Line
The Parow North market is active, but success depends on strategic pricing, careful preparation, and the right marketing partner.
