Looking to buy a property in Bedfordview?
Bedfordview has long been one of Johannesburg's most affluent areas, and nothing has really changed in that regard.
From very Established properties that were built back in the 1970's to new developments popping up all over the area, there are a lot of property options for discerning buyers.
The Bedfordview area is in a new phase of regeneration. Community activation groups such as Better Bedfordview are actively improving the look and feel of the area by planting trees, building garden features and helping to maintain street traffic lines and much more.
Various new shopping centres have opened up in the area such as The Neighbourhood and Bedford Crossing, whilst more established centres such as Bedford Arcade are being modernised and tenanted by innovative businesses that see huge opportunity in the area due to its increase in affluent home and business owners.
Loadshedding during 2024 and 2025, compounded with water outages in the area during that period and some of 2026 due to infrastructure improvements was the likely cause for a number of home owners selling their homes, even up to now the time of writing in July 2026.
However, these infrastructure improvements are making the area better and better now. As such, and in the Est. Properties team view, the area will continue to improve and demand will return strongly during 2027 and 2028!
What does this mean? It means house prices in the area are currently lower than they ought to be. Why? Since home owners have been selling more than usual during 2025 and 2026 and there is more supply of residential property, meaning prices don't increase as much.
This presents a buying opportunity now in Bedfordview. If you took a R15000 per square meter cost to build a home new and compare that with how much prices are currently in the area, you will see what we mean.
Smart investors are entering the Bedfordview market. We see this, as homes are starting to sell a lot quicker.
The signs are there.
Cape Town? Many are moving back to Johannesburg....
