How the data works

Methodology
01
Deeds Office source
All sold prices sourced from publicly available South African Deeds Office transfer records — the legal registration of every property sale. These are the actual prices, not asking prices.
02
Nodal isolation
Each micro-neighbourhood tracked as an independent economic unit. Paradise Beach data is never blended with Wavecrest. You see the real market in each node, not diluted town averages.
03
Reality gap published
Every month we publish the variance between portal asking prices and Deeds registered prices. It tells you exactly how much negotiation room exists in each suburb and price bracket.
Information, not advice
All data compiled for market research only. Not financial or investment advice. Consult a registered professional before making property decisions.
Accuracy and verification
Deeds Office records carry a standard 90–120 day registration lag. Portal asking prices are unverified. Registered prices are the legal record.
Lead referral disclosure
SA Coastal Data holds no estate agency mandates, does not broker sales, and is not registered with the PPRA. Placements are paid listings, not endorsements.
