House price growth has been dampened for some time now owing to broader economic factors. Once the interest rate cutting cycle begins, it is possible that we might experience a quick turnaround within the local housing market.
“Being prepared for this swing can help both buyers and sellers snatch up the opportunities before it's too late,” says Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa. For those who are not sure how to prepare for the possibility of changing market conditions, RE/MAX of Southern Africa shares some advice for both buyers and sellers.Once interest rates come down, the market is likely to become more competitive slowly over time for buyers. It is advisable to get in early before house prices begin to climb. Save up for the upfront costs like transfer duty and bond registration fees. Get a pre-approval certificate to prove that you are a serious buyer.
While the property market remains hopeful that conditions will soon become more favourable overall, Goslett mentions that even in the current conditions, the property market is by no means inactive, especially for those who work with a reputable brand. “In fact, July 2024 has been our biggest month of sales registrations in the last 12 months. Over R2.7b worth of property was sold by the RE/MAX SA network. While some regions are performing better than others, the need to buy and sell property exists in every market. Partner with a property practitioner to find the opportunities that exist in your area,” he concludes.
