The average asking rent in Cape Town City Centre is R16 500 a month (Nov 2026), up 1.3% since November 2025. Half of the 280 live listings ask between R13 500 and R24 000; a typical studio is R13 500 and a 1-bed R16 370. Homes take about 40 days to let, and 1 in 4 has cut its asking price since listing.
Like-for-like: the line moves only when asking rents move, not when the mix of what is listed changes.
