The first episodes showcased renowned local singer Jarrad Ricketts viewing a sensational Camps Bay villa for his family vacation.
This multi-story property in one of the Mother City's most exclusive suburbs featured uninterrupted views from all angles of the house, leaving the entertainer insisting that his wife will come around to the whopping R50 000 per night price tag.
Meanwhile, fans of the show have also been able to enjoy glimpses of an impeccably designed Bishop's Court modern farmhouse as well as a mindblowing penthouse, which seeks to be the best of its kind on the African continent and was built to resemble a yacht, in the new season.
Its latest offering has also seen the introduction of new agents, which include Wendy Khumalo, Neteske Gavin, Romy-Leé Ferreira and Dael Dyer.
They join familiar favourites such as Byron Louw, Kim Tresfon and Jonathan Tannous return to the show, promising a diverse mix of personalities and strategies that could either charm or clash throughout the season.
Meanwhile, one of the most notable comments shared by many of the agents on the series was just how high the demand for property is in the city.
Property director Warrick Wiegand, who makes an appearance on the show, believes that: 'The reason why the Cape Town property market is so alluring is because everybody has started to realise just what a world-class city on any scale Cape Town is.
'The demand has got to a point where it far surpasses the supply. From an international standpoint, Cape Town is exceptionally underpriced and undervalued and still has much more room for growth.'
Meanwhile, Louw, a popular figure who has appeared on previous seasons, shared similar sentiments.
'I think it is a cosmopolitan mix of things that keeps Cape Town as a top contender, such as the favourable exchange rate, steady foreign investment and local attractions matching world-class standards.'
As more episodes of the new season of 'Listing Cape Town' drop weekly, Louw is thrilled for viewers to witness what the series still has in store for them.
'Besides all the gorgeous views and the luxury living, I am personally very excited for viewers to see a younger set of buyers breaking into the property market and forging their unique path.'

Louw elaborated that some of the other season highlights will be scouting for a client in Brazil and flying over to Rio De Janeiro to seal the deal.
Wiegand added: 'We featured the world-famous, one and only Stefan Antoni in our iconic Camps Bay listing that he designed.'
He said that the acclaimed architect also details his insightful thoughts on the home from an architectural point of view.
The property director also promised viewers that the latest installment will include: 'New agents, bigger negotiations, better properties and an all-round must add to your weekly calendar overall.'
Meanwhile, Louw believes that the high-end real estate agents on the show are what makes it so popular.
'In my opinion, the show remains a hit because of the diverse set of agents, all at the top of their game, who bring their own unique approach to deal-making.'
On what he thinks will surprise viewers the most about the new season, Louw said: 'We were able to top property prices and still have them selling so swiftly. Just when you think Cape Town has plateaued, the market will surprise you.'
∎ Watch new episodes of 'Listing Cape Town' season 3 on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC Lifestyle (DStv channel 174).

Bridget Masinga's journey: turning loss into light with a heartfelt pregnancy reveal
This week, beloved South African broadcaster and actress Bridget Masinga broke that silence with a message of grace, strength, and vulnerability that resonates deeply within the hearts of many Image: Bridget Masinga/Instagram In a world where pregnancy announcements often flood our social feeds with joy and perfect bump pictures, the quieter stories of loss are often left in the shadows. But this week, beloved South African broadcaster and actress Bridget Masinga broke that silence with grace, strength and vulnerability. Her pregnancy announcement, shared on August 4, was more than just another celebrity reveal; it was a poignant reminder of the long, heartbreaking road some women travel to motherhood. With a heartfelt Instagram caption, quoting Isaiah 60:22, Masinga wrote, "When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen." The post, which included a striking maternity shoot by Gareth Jacobs, quickly went viral. Fans and friends alike, including media personalities Minnie Dlamini, Duma Ntando, Moshe Ndiki, Sarah Langa and DJ Zinhle, flooded the comments with congratulations and prayers of gratitude. But behind this joyful moment lies a journey marked by deep grief and unimaginable resilience. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Speaking the unspoken truth of miscarriage Miscarriage remains a painful and often taboo topic. It's whispered about, rarely posted, and often misunderstood, even though an estimated 10 - 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the National Health Institute. And the stigma around miscarriage is still heavily rooted in silence, shame, and isolation. Masinga has never shied away from the truth. Years before this announcement, in 2018, she bravely shared on social media that she had lost not one, but three pregnancies, each one a silent heartbreak carried quietly while the world moved on. She spoke candidly about the emotional toll it took on her, her relationship, and her faith. 'We lost our second pregnancy, lost my faith and my trust and found myself in a dark place fighting my way back to the light,' she wrote. 'Time doesn't heal all wounds; you just learn to live through it.' These raw admissions resonated deeply with many South African women who have gone through the same multiple times with no real support system, and often, no language to express their grief. Masinga's decision to publicly share her story has opened a much-needed conversation around pregnancy loss, grief, healing, and hope. For many women, especially black women, these experiences are often minimised, dismissed, or spiritualised to the point of emotional neglect. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Health Psychology found that Black women face increased emotional burden from pregnancy loss, often compounded by societal expectations to be strong and resilient. Masinga's vulnerability offers a counter-narrative. Her story tells women: You're not alone. Your grief is real. Your hope is valid. Research shows that the grief associated with miscarriage can resemble that of other loss forms. 'Miscarriage is a traumatic event. It represents the loss of a future, a dream, and too often, a fragment of identity as a woman. What aids healing is acknowledgement, not silence; support, not shame,' experts affirm. Masinga's own words reflect this: 'I truly believe that one day, I will be blessed with the greatest love of all … but until then, I will not lose faith. Faith has been an anchor for her, but so has community. Her post was met with a wave of love, not just from industry peers but from strangers who had followed her journey and seen parts of themselves in it. Congratulations to her and hers; her story is important. It shows that not all paths to motherhood are linear, and not every woman's body story fits the perfect narrative of 'we tried, and then we were pregnant.'

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ntshangase thanked the medical team as well as the surgeon who helped her make her recovery journey smooth and took good care of her. While many celebrities in SA choose the international route, Ntshangase, however, chose a local surgeon, Professor Chrysis Sofianos, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Johannesburg. She continued: 'Now let's get to it. I'm not normally regular even if I have a high fibre diet, kunzima nje (it's tough), so I've always struggled even after my c-sections. 'WOWZA, after many days, everything finally worked (TMI). Day 1, when I got home, I thought, Mxm, I got this. I don't know what the fuss was about. A lot of people scared me, but Google did the most scarring,' Ntshangase shared. The 40-year-old went on to reveal how she thought that procedure for her was not as painful as a lot of people have described it to be. She shared that even though the post-op journey has been a little difficult, she is loving the results already. 'However, I look in the mirror and I'm like DAMN gal. Even I wasn't ready for this snatchness. Even though there's some swelling, I'm loving the results already,' she said. On Sunday, July 27, 'The Mommy Club' star excitedly announced that she will be going under the knife; however, she did not disclose what kind of cosmetic procedure she will be doing. She cited that she is doing the procedure as a part of her healing and self-love journey, and having four pregnancies in the past affected her confidence, self-image, and made her feel insecure. 'So I've had four pregnancies, which resulted in five kids that includes the twins. So I've gained weight, and it was this, it was that. 'And just not exercising as often as I would have wanted, just a whole lot of insecurities that I have, and I just decided to take the plunge and be brave and do what I've always wanted to do, which is to work on my body and work on myself,' she said. Ntshangase is now the latest celebrity to have had cosmetic procedures done in SA. She joins the likes of Nonkanyiso 'Laconco' Conco, Simphiwe Ngema, Shamiso Mosaka and Khanyi Mbau.
