Horne told BusinessTech there is a strong appetite for luxury property in Cape Town from international buyers. A favourable currency and lifestyle are some of the key factors international buyers look for. Buyers typically derive from the UAE, UK, Europe and other African countries.
The Western Cape and Cape Town, in particular, have seen a strong semigration demand where rich South Africans pursue properties that exceed the R20 million and even R30 million price marks, while demand for rental properties has also spiked.
‘Factors such as the higher interest rates and semigration continue to significantly increase demand for rental properties in Cape Town,’ says Horne.
‘In particular, the City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard and Southern Suburbs have become highly sought-after areas, resulting in fierce competition for rental properties and significant rental stock shortages. We are also witnessing very healthy rental escalations across the board.
‘Luxury properties in areas such as Upper Constantia, Bishopscourt and sought-after Atlantic Seaboard properties can now command well over R100,000 per month.’
