A question many are asking is, “How do I know it’s time to sell my home in Boskruin?”  Cornerstone Homes has highlighted a few points to consider if you want to know when the best time is to list your Boskruin home for sale and what you can expect.

How Ready Are You Ready To Sell Your Boskruin Home?

If a Boskruin property sale takes you 3 – 9 weeks or a bit less, and you add a further 12 weeks onto that, are you ready to move in 5 – 6 months’ time?  It could be less if you secure a cash sale, in which case it could be 3 months or way less.

Have You Had Time To Get Your Home Ready For Sale?

If you want a mint price, your Boskruin home should be in mint condition. In my experience, depending on the extent of these, often small improvements can take between 6 weeks and 3 months. If you are ready to get started, this may be a very good Step 1.

The Macro Economic Factors And That’s the South African Interest Rate Environment

We have seen a consistent drop in Interest Rates in SA, which bodes so well for us all on so many levels, especially if you are paying off a bond and a car or 2.  Our disposable income lifts a little and we are able to keep up with the rising cost of living.  Given the current interest rate environment, now is a good time to buy and remember you will be selling and then buying, and your buyers will be buying and possibly also selling.

Let’s Also Consider How Boskruin Property Prices Have Fared Over The Last 10 Years

If we do take a closer look at how the Boskruin property prices have done in the last 10 years, it’s about time that we can say we have seen the graphs (below), and the news is good.  Now is the right time to consider a sale if you do want to make the most of the peak prices we are seeing in Boskruin.  Nobody can really say for sure what 2026 will do, but we do know that now the prices, especially for Freestanding Boskruin homes, are at the highest point in 10 years.

Let’s Consider Your Expectation on Price When You Sell?

Nicole and I have met sellers with very firm ideas of what they want as a sales price.  And these same sellers have sat with the most beautiful home on the market for 4 years, and there are health issues in the family. Almost every man and his dog has spent money taking professional photos and has listed this property.  But the seller’s price expectation was completely off.  Had he listed the property for R350,000-R400,000 less, he would have sold in the first 2 months. 

And We Get It – R400,000 Is A Lot Of Money Going Into Retirement

But selling a home and holding your home ‘hostage’ will not achieve the result you are looking for.  In the end, it’s the buyers that decide on the price they will pay when you sell, not you, the Seller or me representing Cornerstone Homes as an estate agent.

Let’s Consider If You List Too High and Don’t Sell Quickly?

So getting back to “How do I know it’s time to sell my home in Boskruin”, if you do list too high and above what the market will pay, you may well be stuck in show house mode and stuck in a long loop that will see your property featured on line with some or absolutely no viewings.  These listings are the worst.  There is huge pressure for a family for whatever reason, and trust me, there is always a reason, and the price goes up a little higher than it should, and the property just gets stuck.  As a property owner myself and also as a recent seller for 2025, I know how tough it is to drop my price knowing full well what a R50,000 drop is worth to me on a Net Basis.  That reminds me, do you actually know what you will Net when you sell your Boskruin home?  Please click on this link because Cornerstone Homes can and WILL help you Net more when you sell.  The reason I bring up the Net argument is that many sellers get married to the asking price, and my argument is you should romance the Net Number far more.  Simply put, what will you put in your pocket after all the costs and fees?  We all want to Net as much as possible, and our homes are our biggest assets.

Let’s Think About What Will Happen If You Do Get A Quick Sale (1 – 2 Months)

There are two scenarios here to consider, and they are:

• A Bonded Sale, which is when a buyer buys your property and obtains finance.  A Bonded property transfer will typically take 3 months after the sale of your Boskruin property has been concluded.
• A Cash Sale, which is when a buyer normally pays the full amount in CASH and more often than not, this Cash payment is made just prior to registration.  Sometimes, but not often, a buyer could agree contractually to pay the full amount off in 1 or two parts – it is unusual, but it does happen.
