Property Investment in Cape Town

April 3, 2008 at 8:02 pm | In Buying as an Investor | Leave a Comment

Hi there everybody.

It’s been quite some time since I have been using this platform to discuss the property market in Cape Town, South Africa.

Well so much has happened in the Cape Town Property Market since the ANC government has introduced the controversial National Credit Act.

It is my view that this can only hurt the Cape Town Property Market, the South African Property Market and the South African Economy as a whole.

This act has been operational for almost a year now and we are all starting to feel the pinch as this NCA, in conjunction with high interest rates, is driving the South African consumer into the ground.

We are now having a situation where Estate Agents are struggling to sell their properties on their books, banks/bond origination companies are having a tough time and attorneys are having a very slow time.

Property owners, struggling with servicing their bonds, are now looking at selling their properties, but the selling market is very touch as it is a buyers market now.

So all in all, the picture is very dark, especially in view of Eskom’s challenges with supplying existing and new customers with power.

But, this moment too shall pass. I hope sooner, rather than later though.

We need a bit of a shake up of the powers running the country so that we can get qualified people making the decisions that shape our lives, not people who are selected merely through their political affiliation.

I am not trying to punt my political point of view, as this is really of no relevance. However, when politicians make decisions that impact so negatively on my livelihood and lifestyle without thinking it through properly, I need to be able to give my opinion.

After all, we have a beautiful constitution that entrenches my freedom of speech.

You access your true Strength in Valleys not in Peaks

December 6, 2007 at 1:06 pm | In Preparing to Buy Property | 2 Comments

Paying South African citizen’s resilience and strength is being severely tested in this ‘new’ South Africa.

I would like to paint a hypothetical scenario of what life is like in South Africa at this moment.

It is like a boat that is battling to get to its destination because we have a full boat of say 250 people and only 50 people are rowing (paying for services & taxes). And to keep moving forward more and more is expected of the 50 tired rowing people. Instead of the captain insisting that the other 200 non-rowing people start assisting with the rowing, he lashes out at the 50 rowers and asks them to row faster and harder( pay higher and higher price for services & taxes).

Eventually, the 50 rowers either die of exhaustion (go bankrupt) or jump overboard (emigrate). And the ship stays on one spot and eventually rots and sinks, because the 200 non-rowers did not have the integrity to start rowing and contributing their share. And the captain did not have the character to insist that the 200 non-rowers do the right thing.

Is this where South Africa is headed?

I hope not, it is our duty to all start rowing.

We need to uplift ourselves and when we uplift ourselves, our communities get uplifted and thus our country improves.

Owning one’s own property is undeniably the one way via which one can uplift oneself almost immediately.

We have many affordable homes for sale in the Cape Town Property market. Eerste River is a very popular area for starter homes. We have 2 bedroomed homes from just under R300 000 – the bonus is these homes have big grounds so it has potential for expansion and increasing your home’s value.

These homes are also in the +-R300 000 area. And if you would rather prefer a GASH home (good address small home), we have just the place for you with our lovely flats in Wetton / Lansdowne area starting from R359 000.

We have houses for sale in Belhar.  We have houses for sale in Eerste River.  We have houses for sale in Kuilsriver.  We have houses for sale in Mitchell’s Plain.  We have houses for sale in Retreat.  We have houses for sale in Lansdowne.  We have houses for sale in Grassy Park.  We have new houses for sale in these areas as well as second hand houses.

Tough Times with the new NCA and Interest rates hikess

October 16, 2007 at 10:47 am | In Preparing to Buy Property | Leave a Comment

We make them cry who cares for us,

We cry for those who never care for us

And we care for those who will never cry for us

Thought I would start with this quote as we South Africans are currently being assaulted by high prices.  Due to the interest rate increases many families are going through challenging times.

Families have to be united and work along with one another to get through this time.

Nothing worthwhile comes easy.

I recently met a husband and wife who is about 70 years  old.  They never bought their own home, so now in their old age they have to move from one property to another because they cannot keep up with the current rentals being charged.

In their youth they chose the  easy route and never sacrificed in order to own their own home.  Now in their old age they are paying for this decision.

Don’t be like them.

We have many affordable homes for sale in Cape Town.  In Eerstriver we have houses for sale from R299 000.  Call us on 082 7706808 for affordable homes in Eerste River.

In beautiful Strand we have 3 bedroomed units (80m2) starting from R500 000.  This is really a good opportunity. Call us on 082 7706808 for Flats for Sale in Strand.

For those who love the Southern Suburbs we have a lovely 2 bedroomed flat in Kenilworth with fitted kitchen for an unbelievable R550 000.  Similar apartments in this convenient area sell for about R700 000.  The only downside is that there is no parking but I don’t think it is a good thing to pay R150 000 for a parking bay, do you?  Call us on 082 7706808 for flat for sale in Kenilworth.

I also have a lovely 2 bedroomed semi-detached cottage in quaint Salt River for R550 000.  This is really a good buy as similar houses in Salt River sell for R650 000.  Call us on 082 7706808 for Houses for sale in Salt River, Salt River is an up and coming area and is seeing an unprecedented upliftment due to the expansion of the CBD.

For the smaller family or investor, Wynberg has always been a popular area.  We have a 2 bedroomed semi with a separate granny cottage for an unbelievable R650 000.  You cannot go wrong in this area.  We also have a 2 bedroomed cottage for sale in Wynberg for R620 000.  Call us on 082 7706808 for Houses for sale in Wynberg.

And for those of us who love Mitchell’s Plain, Colorado Park has always been a sought after area.  We have a 3 bedroomed house with fitted kitchen and garage for Sale for R545000.  Call us  on 082 7706808 for Houses for Sale in Mitchell’s Plain.

I hope that you make that positive step today and that you will call us on 082 7706808 for affordable homes for sale in Cape Town.

May God bless you

How does one transmute energy into Accomplishments?

September 3, 2007 at 10:31 am | In When to Buy and When to Sell | Leave a Comment

This is the million dollar question.

We are all so busy. But are we being productive? Is this activity being turned into Accomplishments, or are we just busy for the sake of being busy.

Did you know that all the breaks that we need in life wait within our imagination. Powerful stuff, won’t you agree. “Our imagination is the workshop of our mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.” Napoleon Hill

So how does one increase our productivity? The key to increased productivity is to focus on managing actions and energy rather than time. Investing your energy wisely will provide you with additional energy in return.

Step 1:- manage actions and priorities. Time management is action management. Start your day knowing exactly what you intend to day. Outline your day on paper every morning.

Step 2:- Keep skills sharpened. Keep on improving your skills. Invest in a speed reading course, learn to become better and faster at your job. Keep abreast of new technology and learn to use it beneficially.

Step 3:- Focus purposefully. Create a sense of urgency and work towards your goal with purpose. Create reminders and stay within their time frames.

Step 4. Stay flexible and ask for help. Do what you can do effectively, and delegate or ask for qualified help with other tasks that you are not so good at and that will take a lot of time.

Step 5:- Act decisively. All pieces are rarely in place when starting something new. There will always be more to learn. Over-analysis causes paralysis of analysis and holds you back. Fear is also a great thief of time. Acknowledge fears and look past them to see the rewards of your actions. Move through fear by the power of faith in your purpose. Build momentum and keep learning as you move forward.

Hope you are ready for your week, have planned it and that your momentum will carry you to all the goals you have set for yourselves.

Have a blessed week in the Cape Town property market. When conditions are challenging, like it is in the Cape Town property market at the moment, it is vital that we are more productive, effective and that we plan better.

Blessings to all.
