TENANTS SITTING PRETTY Desperate Manhattan landlords offer spoilt-for-choice renters free accommodation for three months

Renters in New York are being offered months rent-free. PICTURE: VICTOR BLUE

BY OSHRAT CARMIEL AND NATALIE WONG “DON’T pay rent until 2021,” is the message blaring from a web page of New York apartment listings by Related Cos. Manhattan landlord Stonehenge says you can “Live free for 3” in some of its units. That’s in addition to the Citi Bike membership and American Express gift cards the company is offering students and recent graduates who sign leases. Landlords are growing more desperate as they struggle to fill apartments amid an urban exodus. And they’re no longer reluctant to show their hand – generous giveaways that just months ago were hashed out behind the scenes are now advertised boldly for anyone browsing online. “You can’t hide it any more,” says Gary Malin, chief operating officer of brokerage Corcoran Group, which represents landlords. “Owners are saying to themselves, ‘I’d rather be honest from the beginning, than play a game back and forth, and otherwise

lose a tenant.’” With many people still working from home, restaurants largely shuttered and schools mostly online, New Yorkers are finding few reasons to stay put in the city’s costliest borough. Manhattan rental listings soared last month to more than double the inventory from a year earlier, according to appraiser Miller Samuel Inc and brokerage Douglas Elliman Real Estate. The vacancy rate jumped to a record-high 5.1% from under 2% last August. That gives renters leverage and they’ll choose an apartment with “the best possible deal” over one they love the most, Malin says. “Tenants are filling out four to five applications at the same time and negotiating one offer against the other. “Owners want to lead with their best foot. If you sit and try to hold on for every last penny, for every last dollar, tenants are just going to go somewhere else.”

Enticements such as a free month, complimentary gym membership or payment of a broker’s fee have long been standard in New York when landlords want to fill units in a slowing market. These days, it’s not uncommon to see pitches for three free months, especially in buildings with fancy public amenities that have been off limits during the pandemic. At Stonehenge, chief executive officer Ofer Yardeni says occupancy figures slipped as tenants moved back with their parents, to the suburbs or to the beach to ride out the summer while working remotely. Now, with the weather cooling down and more businesses reopening, people are starting to consider coming back and Yardeni is using the sweeteners to get their attention. In addition, behind the scenes, current tenants are being paid as much as $4 000 (about R65 000) if they find takers for empty units in the company’s buildings.

“I’ve been in the business for over 30 years and I’ve never seen the market this way,” Yardeni says. “It’s almost like a falling knife.” The incentives apply only to new tenants, creating a “slippery slope” for landlords who also need to hang on to existing renters, says Yardeni. His company offers adjustments on renewals on a case-by-case basis. “Most landlords, especially the smaller ones, can’t afford to leave their properties vacant,” says Michael Feldman, chief executive officer of Choice New York Cos, one of New York’s biggest apartment managers. “You’ll start to see four to five months of free rent consistently throughout the winter.” While offering such big breaks sounds like surrender, it’s actually a smart move, says Malin. “Whatever you give away, you’re bringing in tenants quicker, you get rent quicker,” he says. “You start to mitigate your losses and you’ll come out ahead. – Bloomberg

Vacancies an ongoing challenge for landlords There is a surfeit of rental flats with tenants being hard hit financially and others taking advantage of low interest rates to buy their own homes BY BONNY FOURIE bronwyn.fourie@inl.co.za

The date was March 18 and the headline was “Business braces for the virus”. At that stage we were still oblivious to the initial 21-day lockdown, which the president would announce a few days later. At the time, business was concerned about how lockdowns in other countries would affect domestic production because of the halt on imports from other countries. It was also predicted that industrial property would be the first to be affected followed by foreign and leisure tourism, then retail and leisure trade. It is so interesting to have these records from our newspapers. They will certainly become collector’s items in years to come as we grapple with how the pandemic played out and how we reacted to it.

Flat vacancies continue to increase as more tenants move back home or buy their own properties. PICTURE: KIRK AND MIMI

Looking back at the stories – even with a mere seven months between the start and now – leaves one tender to see and hear how people adapted as history played out. When lockdown hit and we changed our Property360 Suburb features to a Lockdown In feature showcasing ordinary people from all areas and the impact it was having on them, people rallied to help the more affected communities. Today I want to salute all of you for having survived seven months of the anti-Covid-19 strategies. You have been through a lot and have shown the resilience and fortitude we as humans are born with. Our pages this week tell us that we have some tough times ahead still in the property world, but the past few months have shown us what we are capable of surviving – and doing that while showing humanity to each other. Here’s wishing you fortitude for the road ahead. Warm regards

EMAND for rental flats is plummeting in South Africa and landlords who are fortunate enough to find tenants will probably have to drop their rents. The bleak reality for this sector of the property market is not only a result of weak tenant finances, but also an oversupply of rental properties, as well as an increase in the number of tenants opting to take advantage of the current low interest rates to buy their own homes. Flat vacancy rates reached 11% in the third quarter of 2020, a climb from the 7% in the second quarter, according to data from Rode & Associates. The Q3 figure for 2019 was 6%. Also, figures from Stats SA show that rental growth in Q2 of this year slowed to 2.8%. In the Q3 Rode’s Report on the State of the Property Market, Erwin Rode says rents are “heading south” due to the oversupply of flats linked to “huge increases” in new rental stock in 2018 and last year, and weakening demand from tenants who have been hard hit financially. Rising vacancies are being seen in all major cities, with the rates in double digits. Durban (19.1%) and Cape Town (16.7%) are the worst off. “We warned about the prospect of further rising vacancies in the previous Rode Report as tenants opt for more affordable apartments or move in with family and friends to cut costs. Job losses are at record highs and many South Africans have also experienced salary cuts.” He adds that some “financially sound” tenants have opted to buy their own flats or houses as the sharp decline in interest rates makes the monthly cost of owning versus renting “now closer to equilibrium”. In Cape Town, the market is “flooded”

with vacant properties, says Mic Brand of Dogon Group Rentals. The city is not getting its usual influx of foreign visitors and many owners are letting their properties on a longterm basis until tourism picks up. “The pandemic has meant some companies could not afford full salaries and employees took a salary cut to keep their jobs. The troublesome UIF claiming system is not helping matters. This means tenants are requesting rent reductions. “For some landlords this is possible, but if you have a heavily bonded property, plus the need to pay rates, taxes and levies, a rent reduction is not always financially viable and the tenant then cancels the lease and moves out.” Brand says tenants unable to downsize any further have been forced to move in with family and friends. The increase in apartment vacancy rates has been seen throughout the country by the Rawson Property Group, but national rental manager Jacqui Savage has noted an increase in sales in the lower price brackets over the past three months. “With the interest rates being at such a low, we have noticed that our tenants in the R7 000 to R11 000 rental range are now taking advantage of these rates and buying homes rather than paying off someone else’s bond.” The group’s regional sales manager, Craig Mott, says more than 70% of its current buyers are first-timers. “They are starting off small and affordability is their main priority. We find that those with steady employment and a good financial track record are taking up properties that they can afford and banks are

eager to offer them finance.” Savage says the trend of moving in with family and sharing living costs is also being seen but that this was happening pre-Covid, due to the high cost of living. Mott agrees: “The multi-generational living trend was in existence way before Covid-19 hit. In some cultures, this was a standard procedure, but due to the economic challenges over the past few years and high unemployment rates, we saw more people moving in with family as it made financial sense to combine resources and share living costs.” This increase in multi-generational living is being seen throughout the country, agrees Adrian Goslett, chief executive of Re/Max of Southern Africa. “This means demand for stand-alone rental properties is shrinking and the demand for properties with semi-detached flatlets is on the rise.” And, as pandemic restrictions ease and the country enters the post-lockdown period, he predicts that the trend to multi-generational living will continue. Citing preliminary data from the Deeds Office obtained by FNB, Rode says there has been a strong increase in transaction volumes by buyers under 35. This age group forms the core of tenants in the country. The good news for the oversupplied flat rental market though is that the number of new completed rental units has “declined considerably” since the Q2 of 2019. “Developers are also planning to build less,” Rode says.

Homeowners might need to stretch their money further so they can make their bond repayments. PICTURE: TUMISU

Draw up a budget and stick to it

In times of financial stress, it is vital to make savings where you can so as not to default on essential payments such as your bond, medical aid and insurance cover BY BONNY FOURIE bronwyn.fourie@inl.co.za

TIMES are tough for most South Africans as they tackle a weak economy and lockdown-related salary pressures but many homeowners are particularly stressed as they struggle with their bond repayments. Although tenants find it difficult to move when they cannot afford their rent, life is even tougher for those who can no longer afford their bond repayments. Before approaching their banks for help, homeowners should look at their monthly income and expenditure to see if they free up some money to repay their bonds. Bongiwe Gangeni, deputy chief executive of Absa Retail and Business Banking, and financial advisers at Capitec Bank, offer some useful advice.

financial responsibility and informed decisions.”

KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING Creating a budget that reflects daily, weekly, monthly and annual expenses is an essential guide as to what you can afford. Often consumers fall into the trap of spending, hoping to have enough money to get by during the month, only to discover that they don’t, Gangeni says. “This puts a consumer at risk of a ‘quicksand’ process in which each month they fall further behind in payments and this gains momentum until they evolve into a downward spiral. The solution then is either to sell assets or take on more expensive debt which snowballs into further trouble.” She says a budget creates the confidence that you will be able to honour your monthly commitments. It also highlights waste – those things that do not add value, joy or create future benefits. “Doing a budget forces a consumer to choose between wants, needs, affordability. It engenders

HOW TO SPOT WASTEFUL EXPENSES Your first consideration should be to allocate your income to the things you need, then to items or activities you want. Go as far down the list as you can afford to, Gangeni says. Importantly, remember to provide for emergencies – ideally a three-tosix month buffer is advisable. “With provision for tough times, any adverse impact is likely to be softened and the risk of losing assets (like your house) will be limited. With interest rates now very low, any excess money should be saved towards your emergency fund.” It is important to live within your financial means. Luxuries and non-essential expenses can be reduced and this will enable you to save more and stretch your money.

REPAY THE DEBT YOU CAN You should look at your budget and pay off any debt you can, advises Capitec Bank. “Begin by paying off debt faster; this can reduce the overall interest you pay. Your disposable income will increase once it’s paid off and you’ll have more money to use towards your goals.” It advises consumers to pay off credit with higher interest rates first, such as store and credit cards which often charge higher interest rates when compared to other loans. “Prioritise paying off these to maximise your savings and, where possible, move to simpler and more affordable options.”

THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS THAT YOU COULD TEMPORARILY DO WITHOUT OR REDUCE PAYMENTS TOWARDS Gangeni says most recurring investment products have a

“premium holiday” benefit, meaning that you might be able to stop the premium for a few months. However, in each case, you need to ensure that you fully understand the rules and consequences of this option. “Contact your financial adviser in order to ensure you have all the details before making a decision which could impact the current or future value of your investments.” INVESTMENT OPTIONS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WITHOUT Life insurance, short-term insurance policies and medical aid are often the first products that people cancel or reduce when finding themselves in financial difficulties, Gangeni says. However, consider the long-term impacts as reinstating these products at a later stage may be more expensive. And in the unfortunate event that there is a claim and you don’t have cover, the financial result may have a much bigger impact than the saving on the monthly premium. “I would advise people to discuss the impact of cancelling any policy with your financial adviser prior to making this decision unilaterally, as there may be other options such as premium holiday benefits,” she says. CONSIDER BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL INCOME OVER THESE DIFFICULT MONTHS The financial stress of Covid-19 has forced many people to find new ways of earning, even if only temporarily. Those who are still struggling with reduced or no income, can use their skills to provide products or services. Some ideas include: ◆ Sewing fashionable masks or making other necessary items of clothing. ◆ Providing babysitting and/or

school work assistance to parents who are back in the office but whose children remain at home for medical reasons. ◆ Freelance writing or editing – online content is becoming more popular so look for platforms or publications that could use your skills or experience. ◆ Those with IT or web design skills can use them to create websites for small businesses or entrepreneurs who have now discovered the importance of an online presence. ◆ Look for remote or online work – even international companies offer such opportunities. ◆ Shopping and delivery services for elderly people who do not want to risk their health by going to buy groceries or household items. ◆ Those with teaching experience or particular knowledge sets can consider online tutoring. Similarly, those with excellent English can teach English online through many reputable service providers. This will, however, take some financial outlay to get a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) qualification. FUTURE-PROOF YOUR INCOME Looking ahead, Capitec says people could consider using monthly savings, once their financial circumstances stabilise, to study further. This could earn them a promotion, the opportunity to apply for a more interesting job or the skills needed to start a side hustle. The bank adds: “One of the lessons to come out of the pandemic is that savings are important as life can present unexpected situations. “Build enough savings to cover at least three months’ expenses. This protects you from dipping back into debt each time there is an unexpected expense.”

& TO RENT OR BUY – HOW TO DECIDE ASKED

ANSWERED

Property experts answer your questions, from whether it makes more sense to rent or to buy your home to if it’s advisable to purchase a property with only one income Q: WITH current property market conditions leaning strongly in favour of buyers, would it be better for me to sell my home and then purchase a new one or buy a new one first? A: There are pros and cons to consider for each option. If you choose to sell first, you’ll have cash in your pocket to buy again and you will have a clear indication as to what you can afford. When you find a new property to buy, you will be able to make an offer that is not subject to selling your property, and most sellers prefer an offer without any encumbrances. However, depending on how long it takes for you to find a new home that fits your specifications, and for the buying process to be completed, you may have rent a temporary home. If you choose to buy first, you will have a lot more time to look for a property without being under pressure, but you may struggle to find the property you are looking for as stock is tight at the moment. You will also likely have to make an offer on a new property subject to selling your home, which can make you a less favourable buyer. Selling your property can take time, but if you can secure your new home, you will have somewhere to move into immediately once you do sell. Each option carries risk, so plan carefully when deciding which one is right for you. Be realistic about how much time you need to find a new home, as well as how much time is needed to sell your existing property. – Anita Griesel, property consultant at Jawitz Properties Durbanville Q: Is it wise to own a home if we are relying on a single income only to make ends meet each month? A: Those planning to live on a single income need to be realistic about what they can afford and leave plenty breathing room so they never end up in a position where they can no longer afford the repayments on their home loan. Bond repayments change every time the interest rates change so taking on debt to the hilt of what a household can currently afford is seldom a good idea. Buying is also recommended over renting as this eliminates the possibility of annual rent increases and provides a family with an appreciating asset that can be sold in times of crisis. If the homeowners have an access bond they can treat their home loan as a sort of savings account that can be accessed in case of an emergency. If need be, the property can also be sold and the money can be used to see the owners through the crisis. On the other hand, those who have suddenly found themselves in this situation will need to reconsider their current living situation

to identify where to cut down on costs or possibly leverage the property to access some much-needed financial relief. Homeowners might be able to let a room in their home, either on a short-term basis via platforms such as Airbnb or on a long-term basis with the help of a rental agent. If this is not possible, then homeowners may need to downscale. – Adrian Goslett, chief executive of Re/ Max of Southern Africa Q: We are looking to move to KZN possibly and have always loved the South Coast. However, the North Coast seems to be the place to be in the province. Would we be making a huge mistake if we choose the south over the north? A: The scenic and unspoilt South Coast coastline has arguably some of the best Blue Flag beaches in the country and a solid infrastructure with hospitals, private and public schools, shopping centres and all amenities on hand, as well as a host of outdoor activities. Home buyers can find considerable value in beautiful apartments and homes with spectacular views which can be acquired at prices ranging from approximately R1.5 million to R3m and upwards. Despite Covid-19 and the hard lockdown, residential property prices on the KZN South Coast have remained surprisingly resilient, which augurs favourably for medium to longterm capital return on investment. Due to its value for money, we are seeing an ongoing semigration of buyers from other areas in the province, including the more commercialised and upmarket KZN North Coast, from upcountry and other provinces both inland as well as the Eastern and Western Cape. – Mohammed Amra, Pam Golding Properties Port Shepstone and Margate area principal Q: As a real estate professional, what new technologies are the most important to adopt? A: The aim of proptech (property technology) initiatives includes using real estate technology to reduce paperwork or make transactions more efficient and faster. And while we have seen the transition starting to take place – with a slight move from traditional real estate into big data in recent years – the pandemic was the real driving force that caused property companies to make dramatic switches overnight. Remote access has been the most prevalent shift from traditional methods to digital ones. The construction sector transitioned from physical site walk-throughs to drone tech and even GoPros on hard-hats, while estate agencies have turned to WhatsApp video calls for property viewings and virtual tours. – Richard Gray, chief executive at Harcourts South Africa

HERE’S WHY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MAKES A GREAT INVESTMENT Many people are future-proofing their finances by opting for more flexible investments that adapt to the ebbs and flows of the economy. One of the more popular of these options is buy-to-let property. Here are the top five reasons why. 1. It’s inflation-proof There are a lot of general benefits of investing in property. One of the most important factors is its ability to generate rental income that keeps pace with inflation. This allows investors to plan a rental portfolio that provides enough income to support them at today’s rates and know that it will continue to support them at the same level in 10, 15 or 50 years. Your rental income should grow at the same rate (or higher) than inflation, and support the same lifestyle down the line as it does today. 2. It’s self-funding While it may take a few years for a buy-to-let property to become profitable, between bank financing and rental returns it’s entirely possible to fund your investment predominantly with someone else’s cash. You’re very unlikely to be able to convince someone else to pay your retirement annuity or buy your shares, but you can get a bond for a property, and the rental income can help pay off that bond. That means you can even finance a large portion of your retirement using rental capital – an option that’s simply not available with any other investment type. 3. It’s an accessible nest egg Apart from rental income, properties also appreciate when they’re properly looked after. This capital growth can create a very useful emergency nestegg.

While most investment plans have limits to how much capital you can withdraw, properties can be sold at any time to liquidate their full value. The sale process may take a few months, depending on the market, but it’s often far more straightforward than accessing capital tied up in other longterm or regulated investments. It’s better, of course, to live off rental income if possible, but having that capital available in an emergency can be a very comforting thing. 4. It leaves a legacy By living off the income generated by a property portfolio without selling the properties themselves, investors can also build a valuable legacy for their families and loved ones. A good property portfolio can provide financial stability for your heirs, and allows you to ensure your loved ones are taken care of long after you’re gone. It does, however, require some forethought and planning to minimise taxes and duties on the closing of your estate. It’s a good idea to speak to a financial advisor about your options if this is something you’d like to set up. …but remember! Property makes an excellent investment down the line, but the earlier you get started, the greater the rewards. That said, it’s never too late to start looking into a property portfolio. Just make sure you get sound advice from an experienced real estate expert who understands your particular situation and needs. For more information, email marketing@rawsonproperties.com.
