BUYERS SEEK SAFE HAVEN IN PROPERTY Plettenberg Bay property is back in business. “Despite the challenges brought on by the Covid-19 Pandemic, the market in Plettenberg Bay is active again, in fact more so than what we have seen for some time.�, says Kevin Engelsman. The interest rate has been a great stimulus for the market and people are investing more into property. While about 90% of all sales fall below R4m, the market is active ac across the board. The perception that property prices are negotiable is only true where properties are not priced in line with the current market. Where they are correctly priced, sellers are achieving close to and even full asking price. Given that sellers have only one chance to create a favourable first impression, new listings are currently attracting the highest attention. It is therefore important for an experienced agent to assist the seller to prepare a property in such a way that it will create a strong demand for the property. It is for this reason that you should consider using Seeff Plettenberg Bay as your first choice when selling your home. At the same time, as a buyer you can rest assured that the properties available are perfectly priced so you can make a wise investment. A key emerging trend in Plettenberg Bay since the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Lockdown, is that people are now buying to work from home. There has been quite an influx into the town since late March 2020 as people look to enjoy better surroundings while confined to their homes and working ffrom home.
There has also been a major pick up in the rental market with a shortage of stock, especially at the higher price levels being the R17 000 to R25 000 per month range and some demand ranging to R27 000 per month. It is therefore a greatopportunity for property owners to put their homes into the rental market or to invest in property for the rental market right now. Overall, the demand for property is currently much higher than the number of new listings that are becoming available. In contrast to what we may have expected in the current market, there is a shortage of luxury stock for sale and rent and opportunities exist across the board. See Plettenberg Bay remains at the forefront of promoting the Seeff local property market and driving demand and investment into property, including highlighting key achievements for the market and promoting it in the press and social media to the benefit of all property stakeholders. This year again the Seeff Plettenberg Bay team was tops! Winning numerous awards at our annual regional and national awards. (See the page 24 for details on this). So now with no doubts in your mind, give one of our property professionals a call and we will apply our combined skills to sell you your dream home! We look forward to working with you!
