Dear Constantia Upper Homeowners,
Spring is in full bloom, and October brings with it a wonderful sense of renewal in our Constantia Upper community. From the greenbelts bursting with colour to the busy hum of local restaurants and wine farms, it’s a season that reminds us how fortunate we are to call this valley home.
As we look back on the year so far, we’re grateful for the trust and support we’ve received from so many of you. It’s a privilege to be part of this community and to play a role in helping families find their place here. With just a few months left in the year, we look forward to continuing the journey together and sharing what’s happening in our market and neighbourhood.
Warm regards,
The Pam Golding Properties Constantia Upper Team

Dear Arie, Ashley, Garrick,
When friends have asked how we coped with selling our house, we have told them just how grateful we have felt that we asked you to be our agents! We are so appreciative of how professional and respectful you were in handling the sale. We felt completely confident in handing over the keys of our house to you while we were in Plettenburg Bay as we knew we could trust you. Many thanks for operating at such a high standard! We wish you all the best for the future.
With kind regards Sheila
and John

A glimpse into the Market
A glimpse into the Market - Overview
Upper Constantia has performed incredibly well over the past few years. This is evident by the graph above indicating the year on year average sales price achieved in Upper Constantia. From 2020 to 2025, the average sales price of a home in Upper Constantia has increased by 68%, while year on year this hovers around 13.5% per annum.
In our opinion, the greatest driver behind this price increase has been down to demand seriously outstripping the available supply. As a brand, Upper Constantia has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The relative scarcity of crime, the prevailing natural beauty of the area, and the outdoor lifestyle that the area provides, has resulted in demand from all corners of South Africa and abroad.
The lack of buildable open space in the area, and the very strict municipal bylaws, has made it incredibly difficult to create more homes in Upper Constantia. We have noticed an increase in development occurring in the area, mainly in the form of sectional title developments, over the past five years. However, as average prices have gone up, these opportunities for developers have become increasingly difficult to find, and even more difficult to find feasible. The owner-occupier market is prepared to offer more than the traditional developers at present, which is further exacerbating the lack of supply, and in our opinion will continue to push prices up.
Upper Constantia is in a fantastic position at present, with record prices being achieved almost monthly. As a homeowner, this is a brilliant position to be in, and as a purchaser looking to enter the area, you can feel comfortable that you are making not only a fantastic financial investment, but a worthwhile lifestyle investment too!
