What experts predict for property in 2019
The country’s real estate market has struggled this year, but is expected to lift after next year’s elections
This year has been challenging for the country’s property market with political instability, rising inflation, recession and record fuel prices the major hurdles.
While the situation is predicted to improve in 2019, experts say this is likely to occur in only the mid to later part of the year.
“Despite all the challenges, the real estate sector has remained more buoyant than many expected,” says Mike Greeff, chief executive of Greeff Christie’s International Real Estate, adding that the outlook for 2019 “seems quite promising”. He says the results of the election will provide more clarity.
“Foreign investor confidence is also gradually on the rise due to Moody’s rating the country as stable. The Cape water crisis, which dampened the market, has been averted and the Reserve Bank has kept repo rates stable for the time being, despite calls for an interest rate increase.”
