Hi there,
COO MESSAGE
Spreading the love and the wins
Spreading the love and the wins
February is the month of love; a time to focus on the things that bring us joy. I love to travel. I love my fur babies. And I love it when the people around me succeed.
That includes you.

At the end of 2025, Lightstone’s annual property practitioner survey showed that over 60% hadn’t reached their sales targets by both volume and value. This year, we’re working on making it one for the books. Share your pain points in our latest poll, and we’ll find ways to overcome them.

What else am I loving? Our new add-ons and the portal integration we’ve launched — they’re designed to make your life easier and your business stronger.
MD of Prop Data
Let's get going,
Anne Lütge
COO of Prop Data

This unconventional Barbie apartment blew up online: what practitioners can learn
Odd but an opportunity: marketing unconventional properties
WHAT'S TRENDING
A Lightstone survey found practitioners are "cautiously optimistic" that demand will stabilise as interest rates moderate and consumer confidence improves.
According to FNB, lower policy rates should materially ease monthly debt-servicing costs across South Africa, improve affordability, and increase housing demand.
The South African property development market has had a positive start to the year in both the warehouse and office sectors.

"Prop Data is a huge time-saver for our team, meaning our practitioners have more time to list and sell. Because our entire admin team has access, we can quickly update listings, tweak descriptions, and respond to market changes without delay. The platform allows access to archived listings for future reference, which is incredibly helpful for remarketing or reassessing properties. Even more powerful is the ability to match buyers with suitable properties and sellers — all within the same platform."
