People boomeranging back to urban centres

a

Residents are returning to the cities after the pandemic exodus BY VIVIAN WARBY LMOST two years ago, cities came to a standstill at the start of the antiCovid strategies implemented

by President Cyril Ramaphosa who, on March 23, 2020, announced a national 21-day lockdown, starting on March 27.

Many residents fled their city homes and businesses as amenities such as restaurants, bars, theatres, schools and offices – all the things that made city living attractive – were shuttered.

It seemed, at first, Covid was spelling the end for cities, places that drew people by offering jobs, a melting pot of cultures and easy access to top-end amenities.

In pre-Covid days, even though city living came with cons such as high population density, higher living expenses, less space for your buck and transport issues, people were willing to fork out – if they could afford to – to be where it was all happening.

But the pandemic changed this as offices shut down and nine-tofivers went overnight from having

to go into the office daily to being able to walk to their laptops in the next room to start their day.

Added to that, small towns started flourishing as workers realised they could have it all (well, almost) in their work-from-home lives, swapping the city for places that offered a better quality of life, more space and less hustle.

However, the pandemic, it seems, has not completely killed cities and many people are now returning to the urban hubs.

After the pandemic exodus, these city slickers, dubbed “the boomerang residents”, are realising the grass is not always greener on the other side.

The latest Knight Frank Wealth Report corroborates this.

“Cities came roaring back to life in 2021 and still have further to go.”

It adds: “In 2022 we will see even more life breathed back into them as we enter the next stage of the pandemic recovery.”

The reopening of the hospitality and leisure sectors has played a part in bringing people back to our major cities, as well as the push by big business to have a hybrid or full in-office working week.

Big business is also pumping money into these areas to make them more attractive to a young workforce.

FNB economist John Loos, while agreeing that “cities have obviously come back after hard lockdowns”, doesn’t believe they will get back to the buzz of pre-Covid levels.

Tasso Evangelinos, chief executive of the Cape Town Central City Improvement District, says they have seen the daily footfall into the central city increasing steadily since mid-January.

Town is getting busier, he says, but agrees with Loos: “The numbers are nothing near pre-Covid-19 figures, when we had hundreds of thousands of people coming into the city every day, but if you compare March 2020, when the hard lockdown came into effect, to March 2022 there is a vast difference.

“What is evident is that office workers are returning to their desks.

Corporate headquarters – of which there are more than 55 in the CBD – are starting to call their workers back to the office, either full-time or in a hybrid work arrangement, in terms of their remote work policies.”

In his latest YouTube video, Loos does, however, contemplate

whether the latest fuel price surge might delay the return for many office workers.

Architect and urbanist Tholo Makhaola, the SA Institute of Black Property Professionals’s immediate past president, believes “the re-emergence of the city was inevitable considering its importance in stimulating economic activities”.

However, he says: “It has definitely come with a renewed sense of responsibility for urban planners, clients in the property sector and built environment professionals to consider the long-term effects Covid has had on how we perceive urban and private spaces.”

Makhaola, who is based in Joburg, says the reality is the pandemic “has essentially changed the way people are interacting, which might start to inform the various ways in which our cities (public spaces), offices (places of work) and homes (private spaces) are designed in the future – yet, interestingly, human beings are, in essence social, beings”.

“All the pandemic has done, I believe, is given people a renewed Continued on p3

HOW TO STRUT YOUR STUFF IN THE CITY

Mixed-use developments could be the future for cities like Durban.

PICTURE: CAPTURESON PHOTOGRAPHY/UNSPLASH

BY VIVIAN WARBY

‘‘

NTHABISENG MAKGABO, an asset manager in student accommodation, has lived in Joburg for almost 10 years. She grew up in a local village before moving to the kasi for school.

Here she gives advice on how to hustle like a pro in any city: It’s hard coming from a small town, the kasi or even the village to the city. Yet, I have really enjoyed my stay in Joburg.

As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do – it is important to immerse yourself into the culture of the space you are in.

When I first came here, I was definitely out of my league and unsure of what to do.

One piece of advice my mom shared with me has helped me tremendously – she told me to get familiar with my surroundings.

There are few places in Joburg that I am uncomfortable going to because I’ve been everywhere. Nothing intimidates me any more. This is not only good for my safety – because I know how to move around – but it’s also been amazing for meeting new people and getting out of my comfort zone.

Knowing which areas are safer than others is important. This is where socialising comes in handy. Your friends will let you know where to go and where not to go.

It also helps with cultural immersion and makes you feel rooted in a new space.

If possible, try to do a city tour to understand the history of the area.

Definitely also know the different transport routes that exist. Knowing how to get around is essential for being comfortable and happy in a space.

Make sure you keep your morals and values close to you but try to get a feel for what the locals do and get into the activities or habits that resonate with you.

Stefan Botha, based in KwaZuluNatal, says they are “pleasantly surprised” by the growth and movement in inner-city projects.

“People are back to their work and study environments and are following the old philosophy of wanting to live close to where they work and study.”

Developers, he says, are concentrating on bringing not only office and living space to boomerang residents – and new ones – but have upped the ante for social and recreational areas making inner-city living even more attractive.

“Developers are doing rejuvenation projects at scale. For instance, Homii has a national rental model – rent to own – that is bringing ownership in the cities to a whole new generation and they are also adding great social and recreational spaces.”

In keeping with the global trend to improve the quality of office workers’ experience, landlords are also re-imagining their spaces to be more welcoming to them, says Evangelinos.

Boxwood Property Fund, for instance, recently renovated the Picbel Parkade, now called The Felix, in Strand Street, in the Cape Town CBD, to the tune of R40 million, in a bid to change the way people use the building.

Included in the renovation were the sprucing up of two all-weather, five-storey atriums into welcoming

IN THE middle of last year, a friend moved from his home – and life – in London to a quieter life in the countryside.

The place was nice enough, with horses, and lots of country air. But, by month three, when he phoned me, he was miserable, finding the sounds of country life almost unbearable.

I knew it would not be long before he returned to the city.

Small-town living is not for everyone. Granted, he wasn’t living in a place like sunny Knysna or Yzerfontein, but in a gloomy, marshy village.

When his employer insisted he return to the office, he happily packed up and made his way back to his old life.

Smelly, busy, gritty, noisy, full of life and glitzy at times, the city was home for him.

He is one of many the “boomerang residents” across the globe who have decided small-town living is not for them.

Locally, we have seen the

sense of appreciation for human interaction, for having the freedom to spend time in social spaces, which we may have taken for granted previously.”

Development manager, Patrick Gardner of Gardner Property Solutions, is bringing a number of mixed-use developments – which speak to the rejuvenation of cities – to Cape Town, including Lurra Capital’s The Fynbos, being marketed by Dogon Properties.

He says while many people have moved to smaller towns, there is “a net inflow of people into Cape Town via semigration from Gauteng and KZN and also foreigners.

“We are seeing this in our purchaser profile at The Fynbos, where a large proportion of buyers are coming from these three sources,” he says.

While Gardner agrees with Loos things are not at pre-Covid levels, he says they are getting there.

“People are back but it will take some time for businesses to recover and new ones to pop up in response.

“City traffic alone is an indicator that we are getting back to pre-Covid levels.

“Major retailers are also seeing a near normalisation of monthly trading turnovers in the CBD – great news and a strong indicator.

Airbnb is also back to pre-Covid levels and, in some cases, better.

“All good news for Cape Town.”

Rainmaker Marketing’s director

Letter from the editor

recreational venues for tenants, with murals, seating, plug points and a braai area, Evangelinos says.

Rob Kane, chairperson of Boxwood Property Fund, is talking to commercial landlords who own buildings in the area in a bid to collaborate and create livelier precincts and urban spaces.

Murray Clarke, founder and chief executive of Neighbourgood, which builds co-living and co-working spaces in the cities, believes “the adaptation to a hybrid workspace solution where design is centred around people” will be the driver for what works or doesn’t work in cities nationally.

“Naturally, Cape Town city, because of its pedestrian-friendly nature, offers a glimpse into what the future could look like with the integration of mixed-use themes across multiple new developments coming out of the ground.

“Cities such as Durban, and others like it, could follow a similar trajectory if implemented correctly.”

Murray believes that the key to a successful future city is a fusion of “culture, collaboration and people-centric design, driven by both the city and developers who have you and I (and our well-being) at the forefront of any decision making”.

“There really is a requirement for solutions that re-imagine a more sustainable built environment that offers a far better solution to the status quo.”

boom of small towns where, for many, it makes sense to get space and tranquillity for their buck, and yet places close to the inner cities are beginning to get an injection of new life from former residents.

I myself have moved to the city bowl. There is a lot to

OTHER TIPS FROM MAKGABO:

keep me here, and it seems

Do in-real-life viewing Try your best to physically see the properties you would like to rent. Pictures online can be deceiving. If you cannot go yourself, ask a friend to go for you or, sign up for a shorter lease (six months) so that you are not stuck in a long lease on a property you do not want to live in.

Hustle on your rent Rents have become competitive. Many landlords offer deposit-free living or rentalised deposits (where the deposit is paid off over the duration of the lease). You have options now. Be smart and ask for deposit-payment options.

Making friends Depending on your circumstances, your colleagues can be your first point of reference when making friends in a new city. Or you could join clubs in which you are interested. This will help you meet like-minded people. For instance, there are free running clubs to join. Hobby-based classes are a fantastic way to meet likeminded people.

Safety The city is not always safe. Where possible, ensure someone knows where you are, especially if you live alone. Give someone you trust the ability to track you. There are many features available but an easy one is the FindMyiPhone App. This is a cliché but don’t accept drinks from strangers and, if something sounds too good to be true, it most probably is.

developers and city keepers are doing all they can to re-imagine thriving cities.

It is important to note, as I write this, a growing number of homeless are also seeking shelter in our cities, which have often been hostile to the poor.

Let us hope the new cities to emerge will take all their citizens into consideration, no matter their status, to ensure an inclusive and vibrant world where everyone is granted dignity.

: IS IT really necessary to get pre-approval for a bond application? We already know we can afford the bond repayment, so are not worried about being declined.

A: Pre-approval gives you an indication of what the big banks will be willing to offer you, based on your affordability.

It also proves to the seller that you are a serious buyer with the financial means to buy the home.

This will strengthen your hand when it comes to making an offer on your chosen home, giving you the competitive edge when the seller has to consider other offers.

By applying for pre-approval, you not only speed up your bond application when the time comes to put in an offer on a home, but you also increase your chance of bond approval.

Pre-approval can be done online, at no cost, and at a time that suits you.

You submit the same documents as you would for a bond application. As this information is stored on your profile, it can be used for your bond application if you sign an offer to purchase within three months of receiving pre-approval.

– Carl Coetzee, chief executive of BetterBond Q: We are going to be installing solar panels at home to start our process of going off the grid. How do we choose the right company to do it for us and how do we know what quotes are fair?

A: There are, unfortunately, plenty of so-called bakkie-brigade operations who purport to be solar installers but actually don’t have the expertise required.

The company should have a PV GreenCard, which is a safety certification and quality assurance standard for solar PV installers. It offers installers specialised education and training.

In addition, to be certified and registered on the PV GreenCard database, installers must be proficient and compliant with the relevant national and municipal electrical regulations.

Here are some tips to help you choose a reputable installer: • While there are plenty of companies to be found online or via social media, rather consult PV GreenCard’s list of vetted and recommended installers.

• Check whether the installer has generic solutions or does a proper design solution. A company that won’t offer you a bespoke solution to meet your requirements is probably not going to do the best installation.

• Word of mouth is also a good way of choosing an installer.

However, you should still make sure the company is accredited, irrespective of how highly they have been recommended.

• Ask about the warranty on the materials that will be used.

Solar panels usually come with a 25-year warranty, whereas quality product suppliers offer inverter and battery warranties for five to 10 years, so anything less than that should raise a red flag.

• Make sure that you obtain quotes from more than one installer, so you can compare prices. – Ryan Steytler, chief operations officer of Hohm Energy

Q: What are the benefits of using an estate agent to sell my home, compared to just doing it myself? I must admit, this just seems a lot easier and obviously cheaper as I will not need to pay a commission.

A: Selling real estate is more complicated than many may think.

It takes years to build up a database of potential buyers that can be matched to a home.

Beyond that, there are so many variables at play that affect the listing price, as well as the whole sales transaction, after an offer has been received. Those without the industry experience or expertise to navigate these processes can end up costing themselves either in the resultant sales price or in additional costs resulting from not following procedures correctly.

These are the main reasons why it is beneficial to work through a real estate practitioner instead of attempting the sale on your own: • Better selling price: Agents are often able to achieve a far higher price than those who sell their home themselves. In an attempt to avoid paying commission, sellers often end up losing more on the asking price than if they had worked through an agent and paid the commission. Agents are better able to close a sale for the home’s full value because they have the experience and resources to price the home appropriately.

• Save time: Keep in mind that listing a home online is not the only step in the sales process. You will need to devote many hours of your day dealing with potential buyers and arranging appointments. An agent can also screen potential buyers, help you to prepare for home inspections and ensure the whole sales process is handled efficiently.

• Get professional advice for a smooth transaction: Selling a home is a complicated endeavour that involves plenty of legally binding documents which could lead to some unforeseen circumstances if completed incorrectly. An agent will know the ins and outs of what is required and can steer sellers away from making costly mistakes. – Adrian Goslett, regional director and chief executive of RE/MAX of Southern Africa Q: My agent would prefer me to not be present during home viewings.

She says buyers prefer it that way. Is this true?

A: You will naturally be anxious to hear what prospective buyers think of your home but your presence during a viewing is just likely to make them uncomfortable and keen to leave.

However, if they can look around at their own pace, and ask your agent some questions without you listening in, they are much more likely to stay a while and discover all the great things about your home that you’d like them to notice – and that makes a sale much more likely.

Trust your agent to report back to you after each viewing.

– Berry Everitt, chief executive of the Chas Everitt International property group

Now is the time to find out how much you qualify for as the repo rate is at a record low.

Celestine is always available to take your call and guide you through the process from application through to registration.

She will pre-qualify you for a home loan before you start house hunting.

A pre-approval is very useful when house hunting as it helps the agent narrow down which properties to show you and not waste unnecessary time.

Complete one application and she will apply to all 4 major banks and negotiate the best interest rate on your behalf.

Call her for quick and efficient service Please feel free to contact Celestine at any time on 084 559 1786 | celestine@property360.co.za
