    Howlongwill it take to sellmyproperty?

    Often a property seller asks an agent,

    roughly, how long it will take to sell

    their property. The answer may have

    a bearing on when they decide to list

    their home, and the timing of their

    move.

    Thetwoissuesthatcannotbecontrolled

    by anagent arehowmuchapropertywill

    sell for, andwhen it will sell. Having said

    that, the information, guidance and serv-

    ices of an agent canhave a significant im-

    pact on how long it will take for you to

    sell,andultimatelyhowmuchyousell for.

    For example, in the Somerset West mar-

    ketourresearchshowsittakesanaverage

    of 145 days for a property to sell. Yet some

    properties are listed for over 2 years, and

    otherssell inafewdays.Sowhatwillhave

    an influence of how long you take to sell?

    There are two factors that will deter-

    mine this: your list price and themarket-

    ing of your property.

    Lets start with price. Its a fact that the

    loweryouprice,thequickeryousell.How-

    ever,noonewants tosell for less thatmar-

    ket value. So thekey is to determinewhat

    a realistic market value is, and then list

    as closely as you can to that price. Price

    creates interest.

    There is no disputing that the quicker

    you sell, the more you sell for. Dont be

    tricked into listing for an unrealistic

    price. Youll sit on the market for a long

    timeandeventually sell for less thanmar-

    ket value, guaranteed. Sadly some agents

    overprice aproperty to secureamandate,

    and then beat you down in price much

    later, resulting inyouselling for less than

    you deserve.

    Part of pricing is considering the de-

    mand foryourproperty. If there is lowde-

    mand for your type of property, or your

    location, thenthiswillneedtobereflected

    in your listing price.

    The second factor is marketing. Even

    if your list price is correct, if your proper-

    ty is not aggressively marketed then you

    will not attract strong buyer interest. Its

    only when you have buyers competing

    against each other for your property that

    they will make a realistic offer that you

    would consider. And this buyer competi-

    tion usually results in a buyer making

    their best offer so you sell formaximum

    market value. If you are correctly priced

    so as to attract buyers, and you are well

    marketed,thenyoushouldsellinlessthan

    fourmonths, and possibly inside the first

    2 months.

    It iswise to review the activity onyour

    propertymonthly. If there seems to be lit-

    tle interest there will almost certainly be

    issues with your pricing, the marketing,

    or both. Dont delay in addressing the

    problemandgetting thingsbackon track.

  • SMALL SUV: ECOSPORT TICKSMOST BOXES

    Road test: FordsnewEcosport

    FRANS LE ROUX

    N

    ew cars in South Africa are arriv-

    ing at a unfathomable rate and we

    as fanatics, drivers and buying

    public are truly spoilt for choice.

    As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the

    small SUV market is another cut-throat seg-

    ment where manufacturers aim to sell high

    volumes of their respective multipurpose ve-

    hicles. I tested the Renault Duster which was

    a pleasant surprise.

    This SUV segment is now a pretty competi-

    tive two-horse race with the introduction of

    the new Ford Ecosport.

    With the Ecosport you can choose between

    three different engines.Anaturally aspirated

    1,5 F petrol, a turbo charged 1,5 F diesel and

    their award winning 1,0 F three cylinder pet-

    rol turbo engine. If you read any motoring

    news, you would be aware that the 1,0 F Eco-

    boost enginehaswon thecoveted internation-

    al engine of the year twice (2012 & 2013).

    The model I tested was the much anticipat-

    ed 1,0 F Ecoboost Trend, and boy, was I im-

    pressed. This tiny 1.0 engine has three cylin-

    ders and is truly the way forward in terms

    of fuel economy and CO emissions. Power is

    rated at an unbelievable 92 kW/170 Nm. This

    is themoderndayequivalentof a1.6naturally

    aspirated engine.

    I tookthebrightorangeEcosportall theway

    to Caledon on the Saturday morning for a

    work function.Having driven this roadmany

    times before, I deliberately took all the gravel

    roads to test the Ecosports handling and

    200 mm ground clearance.

    It was raining when I drove out of Paarl,

    with the first obstacle being the Franschhoek

    Pass. Even in the rain, the one litre engine

    performed well and I never felt as if I would

    notreachthetop.Beingathreecylinder, there

    isanuncharacteristic enginegrowlyouwont

    find in any other car. It is a likeable sound,

    and kind of rough, but still ready and willing

    as you approach the red line.

    At the top I stopped to further inspect the

    Ecosports interior. If you have recently been

    inaFiesta, everything inherewouldbe famil-

    iar. Step inside and your attention is drawn

    towards the silver inserts on the dashboard

    and steering wheel. Speaking of the latter, it

    has radio volume controls and cruise control

    options (on the Titanium model only). The

    seats offer little side bolstering but feel pretty

    rugged and purposeful. Headroom for adults

    is ample, with rear legroom being better than

    most hatchbacks (Golf or Auris). A central

    mounted cd/mp3 player is surrounded with

    an array of buttons which you can play with

    forhours.Youget the feeling, aswith theFies-

    ta, that everything was installed in a certain

    place for agood reason.Theergonomics of the

    interior is very well sorted.

    Continuing onwards down a wet and slip-

    pery Franschhoek Pass and having reached

    the first gravel road, I slowly drove towards

    Caledon. The Draaiberg road is mostly used

    by farmers to shorten their trip to Vil-

    liersdorporGrabouw.Theroadwasbadlyrut-

    ted, but the 16-inch wheels proved a good bal-

    ance between sporty looks and comfortable

    driving.After a short 10 km, I reached theR43

    again and powered on towards Caledon.

    Fifteen kilometres further, on my left, the

    longer and trickier Boontjieskraal Road lay

    ahead. On this stretch of gravel, I was con-

    vinced the ground clearance was enough.

    However, I carried too much speed and hit a

    ditch that I initially thought would max out

    the suspension and scrape the sump guard.

    To my surprise, though, the Ecosport man-

    aged to get through unscathed.

    Having arrived at my destination a little

    early, I inspected the appearance of the

    Ecosport once more. It strikes a pretty good

    balance betweenamean-lookingSUVwith its

    widened grille and small size and with short

    overhangs at the front and rear, it sure looks

    the part. At the back, Ford decided to mount

    the full size spare-wheel on the bootlid. This,

    inmy opinion, looks pretty hard-core, classic

    and cool. Makes one fondly think of old 4x4

    bakkies. Unfortunately the Ecosport does not

    have a 4x4 option in its line-up, but lets face

    it how many buyers would actually take it

    off-road?

    The fuel consumption for the 220 km round

    trip averaged at 13 km/F. Considering that its

    not a flat road by anymeans, this is remarka-

    ble for a 1,0 F. On the open road this Ecosport

    should easily reach 15 km/F. If you opt for the

    punchy diesel variant, you could see a figure

    as high as 19 km/F.

    As previouslymentioned, the only two real

    contenders in this segment is the Ecosport

    and Renaults Duster. If looks are important,

    the Ecosport takes the medal. If you want a

    mini 4x4, the Ecosport is not the best. While

    brand power is extremely important to most,

    the Ford badge is still sought after. This

    Ecosport would also have a good second hand

    value, guaranteed.

    The Ecosport is a versatile little car. It comfortably seats five adults and no gravel road is un

    conquerable. PHOTO: MARK BOW

    fuel economy by up to 10% in

    heavy traffic and in urban areas

    where the driver frequently

    stops at traffic lights and inter-

    sections.

    Conventional idling stop systems

    restart a vehicles engine with an

    electric motor using exactly the

    same process as when the engine is

    started normally. Mazdas SISS, on

    the other hand, restarts the engine

    through combustion.

    Inadditiontosaving fuel, theSISS

    ensures that the engine will restart

    quickly and with exactly the same

    timing every time. Mazdas ad-

    vanced technology ensures the en-

    gine restarts in roughly half the

    time of other conventional electric

    motor idling stop systems. Drivers

    will feel no delay when resuming

    their drive, which means they can

    enjoy a comfortable and stress-free

    ride.

    With the full suite of Skyactiv

    technologies, the CX-5 2,0 F engine

    uses as little as 6,8 F of fuel per

    100 kminmanualguiseand6,9 Fper

    100 km in automatic configuration.
