The average asking rent across Hout Bay's 21 suburbs is R23 250 a month (Nov 2026), down 12.0% since November 2025. Half of the 86 live listings ask between R18 000 and R39 125; a typical 2-bed is R20 250 and a 3-bed R32 750. That is R7 250 above the Western Cape median. Homes take about 28 days to let, and 1 in 5 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.
