Welcome to the September 2011 Pam Golding Property Group Newsletter


Dr Andrew Golding,
Chief Executive
Pam Golding Property Group
While global economies and markets continue to focus on the challenges, which currently exist, the 2011 Rugby World Cup presents a welcome diversion, and we wish the Springboks every success in retaining their title and making it a hat-trick.

Despite the fact that residential property market activity remains somewhat muted, some markets always find ways to thrive - such as Johannesburg, with its increasingly cosmopolitan status. Here, in the city’s Northern Suburbs, we are seeing a resurgence of demand at the top end of the market, as well as increasing purchases by those from African countries such as Ghana, Nigeria and Zambia and international buyers from China and India.

The sound medium-to-long-term investment potential of bricks and mortar remains evident throughout times of global uncertainty, and as Laurie Wener, PGP’s MD in the Western Cape points out, offering some sage advice, there are good opportunities for investors to boost their portfolios or to enter the property investment market for the first time.

 
 
 
 
Long favoured as a desirable asset and reliable vehicle for consistent and even exceptional capital growth, residential property can also be an excellent hedge against currency devaluation and inflation.

In this edition, we also take a look at what is meant by ‘life right’ schemes and what they offer from a real estate perspective, and ‘discover’ the ultimate getaway location, Vermaaklikheid, a charming hamlet in the Western Cape’s Overberg region and a tranquil and scenic haven where one can forget the stresses of busy city life.
