Same House: R800 000 Price Difference

I know the property market is volatile and agents will differ on the selling price of a property but R800 000? Really?

Leapfrog - R2 950 000.

Ronnie Matthews - R3 750 000

Either that or there was a massive asking price drop and not everyone was informed.

Blast From The Absolute Past: Fernwood

Here's a 3 bed house for sale in Fernwood for R12.5 million. If anyone thinks the bubble is over, back in 2006 (seriously that's like the fourth article we ever wrote for this blog) it was on the market for R6.5 million.

Back in 2006 the going rent on this place was R16 000/month. I wonder if the rent it attains now will cover the R125 000/month bond payment?

Also... tweleve bar and only three bedrooms?
