Senior Analyst Insights

The Newlands freehold market experienced a “breakout” quarter in Q1 2026. While sales volume rose to 29 market-related transfers, total liquidity effectively doubled, with spend reaching R355.8 million.

The Average Sale Price saw a massive 65% jump, driven by significant acquisitions in Upper Newlands and Fernwood. By excluding non-market transfers (estates and CCT), the data reveals a high-performance market where the median price point has solidified at R10.1 million, confirming Newlands’ status as a top-tier luxury destination.

* The highest sale (82 Newlands Avenue) of R37 375 000 was the purchase for the Cannon Brewery retirement development.
