Mboweni’s Budget
- must source maximum revenue, restore confidence With the National Budget Speech looming on 20 February 2019 Finance Minister Tito Mboweni, needs to deliver a Budget, pre-election, that will source maximum revenue to alleviate a major shortfall and also restore confidence, hopefully while containing costs and irregular expenditure. On the other hand, he is faced with consumers who are already baulking at higher taxes including VAT and facing inexorably rising costs of electricity, water, rates and fuel levies, among other indirect taxes. As the housing market takes its lead from general business, investor and consumer confidence, coupled with the current state of the economy, what we are hoping for is a Budget that will achieve a boost in sentiment and economic growth, while allaying global concerns regarding South Africa’s economic future.
which are still buoyant, anything from the Budget that will boost sentiment, household incomes or affordability will provide a significant fillip for the market. According to ooba, first-time buyers still account for about half of all their mortgages extended, with financial institutions retaining their appetite for this sector of the market – with the average concession over prime (for all buyers) declining to only 0.1%, a level last seen in April 2011. In addition, approval ratings continue to improve, while the average deposit as a percentage of purchase price has continued to decline, with both these reaching levels last seen prior to the 2008 recession (Ooba stats as at December 2018). With such an appetite from buyers and amid a positive lending environment, it follows that stimulating this market will pay significant dividends all round. Other measures which would be welcome in the Budget include SME tax incentives to encourage growth in the entrepreneurial space, which would free up more funds across the board to stimulate economic growth, in turn stimulating the property market.
Eco-friendly building incentives
We’d also like to see budget policies and incentives that promote eco-friendly building incentives.

As far as discourage these because they are potentially losing education is concerned, it is logical that an educated revenue. population will generate greater wealth and stimulate the economy. Another valid point worth consideration is the endorsement of budget incentives to enable quick and However, apart from those broader issues, there are a cost-effective building solutions to stimulate the lower number of actions which would immediately benefit the end of the market. For example, more flexible financing housing market – which in itself makes a meaningful options - a case in point being that at present, the banks contribution to government coffers, mainly in terms of are reluctant to finance prefabricated homes.

For instance, in KwaZulu-Natal vacant land is levied at five times higher than normal residential Tax burden on households dwellings, with the result that buyers who purchase vacant land in new developments are paying exorbitant fees.

Gen-Z is about to hit the property market - are we prepared?
Source – Bizcommunity
Every generation has its own idiosyncrasies when it comes to property, and knowing what these are can be an ace in the sleeve for existing owners and investors. The habits of Generation Y - otherwise known as millennials - are fairly well known by now. Generation Z, on the other hand, has flown largely beneath the radar. Gen-Z is one of the biggest generations to date and is made up of people born between the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. That means they’re starting to hit their early- to mid-twenties round about now, which is when most people start thinking about entering the rental market with an eye towards possible future purchases. Understanding the driving forces behind this generation could provide useful insights for investors and owners hoping to capitalise on Gen-Z’s entry into the market. These forces can be broken down into five key areas: finance, family, social

and environmental awareness, work and technology. Global recession
more socially aware than earlier generations, having been extensively exposed to the social justice movement pioneered largely by millennials. This will show in their behaviour on the property market through a greater demand for things like inclusive neighbourhoods and environmentally responsible design.
One of the biggest events in the early childhood of Gen-Z was the global recession. Many of them were too young to remember the actual details, but I think the effects on the finances of their parents I think mixed-income, mixed-use would have been very apparent as they developments with an eco-conscious grew up. angle are going to become the gold standard. I also think re-urbanisation is This financial strain, combined with going to keep gaining ground as young growing income gaps and generally people embrace the no-commute, decreasing affordability is very likely to inner-city lifestyle. have left an innate wariness of debt and desire for financial security in Generation With a particular strong entrepreneurial Z. As a result, affordability is going to be a side, thanks to early exposure to things primary concern for their generation, and like e-commerce, Generation Z is also luxuries like space are going to become expected to have a significant proportion less important as a result. of work-from-home businesses and small startups. This will be important from a I definitely think compact and affordable property perspective because of its is going to be in huge demand, both from a influence on both spatial planning and rental perspective and for first-time location desirability. buyers. That’s not unusual in the entry-level market, but I think the fact that Comfortable work-from-home spaces are people are also starting families going to become increasingly important, progressively later in life these days means even if that’s just a study nook with great Generation Z will continue this trend for connectivity. From a location perspective, far longer than previous generations. I expect we’ll see two opposite trends take off: firstly, the demand for inner-city living Socially aware that we’ve already spoken about, and secondly, a demand for homes in outlying Generation Z is also regarded as being areas from entrepreneurs who prioritise
lifestyle over access to the CBD. Connectivity non-negotiable No matter where they’re located, there’s no doubt that Generation Z will consider connectivity a non-negotiable. This is a generation that has been online their entire lives, and that’s shaped the way they consume content. Satellite dishes have already basically become obsolete – streaming is the way of the future, and if you want to attract Gen-Z tenants or buyers, you need to make sure your property can facilitate that. Generation Z won’t only affect the property market in direct terms, however. They’re also likely to have a strong impact on the way homes are marketed and sold. Again, access to the internet from an early age has taught Gen-Z how to do research, so they’re going to come to the property market very well informed. They’re also going to expect listings to embrace the latest technology, including professional-quality images, well-written descriptions, and extras like 3D tours, all presented in an accessible – and mobile-friendly – format.

Home Staging tricks to make small spaces look larger
Home staging tricks to make small spaces look largererty appear more spacious without having to resort to costly construction work. “Home staging is an incredibly important part of the selling process. By decorating a room strategically to make it appear larger, sellers have a much better chance of securing a sale,” says Goslett. The first trick Goslett suggests sellers try is to remove unnecessary doors from their doorframes. “In older homes, the various living spaces are often cordoned off into separate rooms. By simply removing a door, sellers can create the illusion of a more modern, open-plan living space without knocking down any
walls.”
In addition to this, Goslett suggests that homeowners remove single light fittings and replace these with rows of downlighting. “Singular light fixtures draw the eye to the centre of the room, or wherever the fixture is installed. Similarly, a row of downlights will draw the eye across
the length of the room, making the space appear larger. In addition to this, a well-lit room will automatically feel larger than one filled with dark corners,” Goslett explains. There are also several decorative touches sellers can add to make their home appear more spacious. For example, installing curtain rods closer

to the ceiling than to the window frame will draw the eye upwards and give the impression of taller ceilings; loose mats in a striped pattern will create the illusion that the floors extend forever; mirrors will reflect light and add depth to a space; and curtains in the same colour as the walls will blend in to make the wall space of the room appear larger. “For sellers who are uncertain of how best to stage their home, I would recommend that they get in touch with a real estate professional who can point them in the right direction. Equipped with practical industry experience, real estate professionals know what makes a home sell and what doesn’t and will therefore prove helpful in making sure that a property has the broadest market appeal possible,” Goslett concludes.
