If you’ve been sitting on the fence about selling your property in Zimbabwe, you’re not alone. Many homeowners in 2025 are asking the same question: “Is now a good time to sell?”
We spoke to top agents across Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, and Mutare, reviewed 2025 market trends, and analysed buyer demand data on Property.co.zw to bring you a clear, fact-based answer.
What the 2025 Market Is Showing
According to Property.co.zw’s Q2 2025 insights:
- Listing views are up 19% year-on-year, showing growing buyer interest.
- Diaspora traffic has grown by 32%, especially from South Africa, the UK, and Australia.
- The median price of 3-bed homes in Harare West has increased from US$85,000 in 2023 to US$105,000 in mid-2025.
- In Bulawayo, low-density suburbs like Hillside and Ilanda are seeing more inquiries from retirees and cash buyers.
Agent Insight:
“The market has stabilised, and there’s solid demand, especially for well-priced, serviced homes. Cash buyers and diaspora clients are driving it.” — Misheck Mapfeka ,Legacy Real Estate

What Agents Are Saying
Harare North
“There’s consistent movement in Borrowdale, Mt Pleasant, and Helensvale. Modern clusters and properties with solar + borehole sell fast.” — Top-selling agent, Harare North
Bulawayo
“Sellers in Ilanda and Hillside are benefiting from retirees returning home and buyers relocating from Harare for affordability.” — Agent, Bulawayo
Satellite Towns (Ruwa, Norton, Mt Hampden)
“Demand is rising where there's good road access and water availability. If you own a serviced stand with title, this is your time to sell.” — Agent, Ruwa
5 Signs It Might Be the Right Time for You to Sell
- Your property has a clean title deed
- You own a house in a high-demand area (e.g. Westgate, Greendale, Chisipite)
- The property has modern upgrades (solar, borehole, inverter)
- You're downsizing, relocating, or liquidating for business
- You want to take advantage of high diaspora interest
What to Watch Out for Before Listing
- Overpricing kills interest – Properties priced 15–25% above market value may sit for 6+ months.
- Unserviced land or unclear paperwork makes sales difficult.
- Poor marketing = fewer leads – Listings with no photos or unclear descriptions get 60% fewer views on Property.co.zw.
Tip: Work with a registered agent who can price realistically and market aggressively across online and offline channels.
Final Verdict: Yes, 2025 Is a Good Time to Sell—If You're Ready
With buyer confidence returning, diaspora demand strong, and prices stabilising, this is a window of opportunity for serious sellers especially if you’re offering a move-in-ready home, serviced stand, or property with investment potential.
