By Ewald Kellerman on Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Are aspiring home buyers scared to buy property currently? The demand/supply balance still shows heavy oversupplies.

WESTERN CAPE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY PRICES AMONGST HIGHEST IN SA AND SWING IS STILL TO URBAN AND CBD FRINGE

By bauerm on Saturday, April 9, 2011

“What we are now witnessing,” he said, “is a scenario in which the value of sectional title and other property in the CBD continues to rise steadily because people can no longer accept the lengthy commuter times of up to two hours a day, nor are they prepared to pay the continually rising car maintenance and petrol costs which commuting generates.”
