Allen's Nek at a glance
What are the pricing and sales trends of Allens Nek property composition?
This growing, well-situated and almost rectangular shaped suburb has a property market stock composition dominated by sectional title properties at 67%; followed by freehold or full title properties representing 30% and residential estate properties accounting for the remaining 3% of the total stock.
Allens Nek Sectional Title
Undoubtedly a main drawing card of the area is its wide selection of premium, but affordably priced, properties within this category made up of townhouses, flats and apartments - much like the Weltevreden Park (an adjoining suburb) market.
The abundant supply means a wider market selection to accommodate the varying tastes, income levels and other aspects influencing buyers' decisions.
The average price based on the 99 reported transfers over the recent year, is approximately R725 000 - which comes in at around R50 000 above the current growth and activity price, and is marginally lower than the prevailing municipal average price.
Despite this, sectional title, and full title selling prices can range from as low as R500 000 or so, to an excess of R2 000 000. The suburb is ripe with investment potential and buyers of all kinds will be glad to note that the average price here has shown an increase over the last ten years.
Average prices here are on par with Roodekrans more locally, as well as Rusdal in WC on a national level.
Freehold houses in Allens Nek
In this category we note that 38 successful house transfers have taken place over the recent twelve months, with an overall average price of little over R 1, 200 000.
Growth and activity trends of the area report a slightly higher average by about R 37 000 - while the municipal average is over R 1, 350 000. Yet, there is still a fair diversity for property buyers and savvy investors of unique appetites, seeing that recent average sales prices have ranged from about R 370 000 to over R 1, 700 000.
This area favours freehold investments too, given that the average property price here is considerably lower than current nearest town ranking averages. This makes it a haven for value buys, offering great potential ROIs for the future.
For example the average price here is considerably lower than the likes of Kloofendal in light of nearest town rankings, whereas in national terms it is on par with suburbs like Eduanpark in Limpopo.
Residential Estates
Just 4 of these properties were sold over the recent year, which makes sense given that these sales fall into the smallest segment of Allens Nek stock composition which is strongly sectional title based.
The overall average in this category tips over R 770 000 based on a range of selling prices from R 600 000 to R 830 000.
These prices suggest great value, especially in an area of fewer residential estate homes for sale. Investors may be particularly keen on acquiring a jewel in a secure, close-knit community synonymous with residential estate living, possibly for rental or resale down the line.
