Understanding the reality gap

Reality Gap — J-Bay all nodes · baseline 2026
15 – 17.3%
Variance between portal asking median and Deeds Office registered median · SA coastal hubs baseline
Formula: (Median portal asking − Median Deeds registered) ÷ Median portal asking × 100
A gap exceeding 10% indicates portal inflation or artificial asset buffering.
Node-level reality gap data published monthly on the sold prices page.

A property listed at R2.5m is likely to register at R2.07m–R2.12m at the Deeds Office. Buyers who understand the reality gap negotiate from a stronger position.
