Welcome to the August 2011 Pam Golding Property Group Newsletter


Dr Andrew Golding,
Chief Executive

While the housing market remains constrained, the recent decision by the Monetary Policy Committee to keep the repo rate steady was welcome as South Africa’s economic recovery remains fragile. From a Pam Golding Properties perspective recent activity indicates a gradual upward trend both in regard to the number of units sold, as well as pricing.

There is a cautiously optimistic outlook for the next 6-9 month period as the market appears to have overcome the worst, with the result that there are opportunities for trading conditions to improve, albeit gradually.

In this newsletter we note the rapidly growing trend towards a ‘new urban’ lifestyle within vibrant new growth nodes, which offer a convenient and highly appealing ‘live, work, play’ environment.

For those seeking to relocate from city life to a more relaxing, outdoor way of life – while still retaining busy careers – Knysna on the Garden Route is fostering an increasingly vibrant business sector, attracting an increasing number of entrepreneurs running highly successful businesses in the town.
 
 
 
 

Further demonstrating consumer demand for tranquil locations in which to enjoy quality family time and leisure activities, at the exclusive, ‘Utopia’ estate on the Vaal River, two of the four luxury mansions have been snapped up by local buyers desiring a more balanced lifestyle.

From a residential development perspective, sectional title complexes, which are in prime locations and offer sound investment potential, remain sought after among investors, such as The Avenues in Fresnaye on the Western Cape’s Atlantic Seaboard.
