Eskom's load shedding has significantly influenced Pretoria's property market dynamics. Homes with alternative power solutions now command 10-15% price premiums compared to similar properties without. Solar-equipped homes spend fewer days on market and attract more offers. Areas with better municipal infrastructure, like parts of Centurion, have seen increased demand. Commercial properties with backup power maintain higher occupancy rates. At Djemmo Investments, we advise sellers to highlight energy solutions in listings, and buyers to factor in retrofit costs when considering properties without backup power. The silver lining? Load shedding has spurred innovation in green homes, with buyers increasingly valuing energy efficiency. Properties with solar panels, inverters, and boreholes have become the new standard for premium listings. As the energy crisis continues, we expect this trend to intensify, making sustainable features a key factor in Pretoria property valuations for years to come.
