IT’S WARM TODAY IN SUNNY KZN

WITH many parts around the country experiencing freezing winter temperatures, the KwaZulu- Natal coastline comes into its own with its year-round, mild climate.

And this is fuelling the semigration trend to the region, says Carol Reynolds, Pam Golding Properties area principal for Durban Coastal.

“We are fortunate to live in a very desirable pocket of the country where there is ongoing demand. The North Durban coastal belt offers exceptional schools, good infrastructure, office parks, shopping malls and excellent hospitals, and all of this in a sought-after strip with warm, clean beaches and some of the best surf in the country.”

Despite the lockdown, she says the residential property market in this perennially sought-after region has shown resilience, and agents are continuing to experience activity across all price bands. Most notably, family homes priced under R5million are selling quickly while developments are attracting a significant amount of investor interest.

“We have noticed a positive influx of Johannesburg buyers shopping in our sunny climes, while local property developments in particular, have attracted investment interest from out-of-towners.”
