Can you afford the average house?

Can you afford the average house?

If you’re not earning at least R30 000 a month, the “average” house is out of your reach, at least according to a back-of-a-matchbox calculation.

On Wednesday Absa released its quarterly residential property market report, which found that the average house price is about R811 000. This is for the so-called middle segment of the residential property market (houses of 80m²-400m² and priced at up to R2,7m).
