PROPERTY MARKET OUTLOOK EXPECTED TO REMAIN STABLE INTO EARLY 2017
D
espite a now widely accepted slow-down in sales, the outlook for the residential property market for the rest of 2016 and into early 2017 looks stable. Although there is still plenty of activity to keep estate agents and sellers busy, we are noticing that a lot of the energy of the last two to three years has subsided for most of the country. The exception is the Western Cape, which continues to benefit from an influx of demand from other provinces and excellent business and market confidence. That said, the market remains reasonably balanced, albeit now slower in terms of sales volumes and price growth. The flat interest rate should serve as encouragement for most buyers, and we expect the rate to remain flat for the remainder of this year. Meanwhile, the banks are also still lending to qualifying buyers. While FNB recently reported phenomenal price growth for the Cape of 12.1%, Gauteng and
KZN just managed 4.1% respectively and the Eastern Cape 5.3%. While slower, we do not expect the price growth to dip much lower for the time being and buyers should not wait for lower prices. Buyers, though, should be cautioned to act responsibly and to budget carefully as we are operating under volatile conditions at the moment, both economically and politically. Serious sellers should not be tempted to hold out for higher prices as we are unlikely to return to the positive sellers’ market that prevailed during the 2012 – 2015 period any time soon. This year, we have seen more stock come onto the market and buyers are now more wary about paying high prices. That means that if you are serious about selling, you now need to be more conservative with your price expectations if you hope to conclude a successful sale. This year has certainly highlighted the importance of good governance and
economic and political stability. Despite the recent improved economic growth, the outlook remains weak and this will directly influence the property market. Nonetheless, we are looking to see the year out with still fairly good trading. Remember, there is always some degree of activity in the market, regardless of the economy. There are always people who need to buy or sell for whatever reason, and it remains business as usual for the time being.

One enters this stylish home to be met by triple-volume entertainment areas that consist of spacious living rooms, an own movie theatre, wine making facilities, and a wine tasting entertainment cellar, among others.

STE LLE NB O SC H Stellenbosch is the ideal destination from which to explore the Winelands, Cape Town and the Peninsula. The area also has many tourist attractions and a number of national and international industries have their headquarters here. The town was founded in 1679 by the Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, who was much taken by its beauty and decided that this broad and fertile valley was an ideal location for a settlement. Stellenbosch (meaning, “Van der Stel’s bush”) is the second oldest town in South Africa and is undoubtedly the most scenic and historically preserved. Stellenbosch had become known as the “Town of Oaks”. Oak-lined streets next to water furrows complement the many fine examples of elegant and meticulously restored Victorian, Georgian, Regency and Cape Dutch architecture, which can be seen in the charming town centre and on the surrounding wine
farms. Most of the buildings date from the 19th century. From the start, wine and its production were an integral part of the growing community’s life and culture. The Stellenbosch wine region is one of the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere and is very highly regarded. Stellenbosch is also home to the world-renowned University of Stellenbosch, known as “Maties” and is also one of the oldest tertiary education centres in South Africa. Situated only about 35km from Cape Town and about 1030km from some of South Africa’s most beautiful beaches, the town boasts a mild Mediterranean-type climate with warm, dry summers and wet, chilly winters.

WE LLI N G T O N Originally known as Limiet Valley (meaning “border” or “frontier”), Wellington became known as Val Du Charron or Wagenmakersvallei (“valley of the wagon maker”) towards the end of the 17th century when the French Huguenots settled here. Wellington was a small farming community until the opening of the pass through the Bain’s Kloof mountains in 1853. The railway followed 10 years later and Wellington swelled, becoming a stopover point for transport in the area. Despite its historical growth, Wellington today is by no means a hive of economic activity, and many people like it that way, but you may be curious why every passenger train makes a forced stop at Wellington. This is because the man who donated his land for the Wellington station did so on condition that every passing train would stop here. To this day, even the long-distance express trains pull in for a few minutes to adhere
to this old rite of passage. The town is home to the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Campus, which is the only University of Technology in the Western Cape. Wellington also boasts several good guest houses and restaurants, and visitors to the town can discover a magnificent legacy of historic buildings and architectural treasures. For lovers of the outdoors, Wellington offers Fynbos-rich hiking trails, horse-riding, mountain biking and visits to some of the cellars. These are just a few of the reasons why a visit to Wellington, or the idea of relocating or purchasing a holiday home here, should not be missed.

CERE S Ceres is named after the Roman goddess of fruitfulness. It is situated in the centre of one of the most important deciduous fruit producing areas in the Western Cape and is a mere 150km (or 90-minute) drive from Cape Town. The Ceres district consists of three different areas, each with its own unique charm and landscape: the “Warm Bokkeveld” (the climactically warmer area), the “Koue Bokkeveld” (the surrounding highlands) and the Ceres Karoo (a dramatic, semi-arid region). The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, which shelter it completely from the south-easterly wind in summer. The town can be reached from three different mountain passes: from Cape Town through Michell’s Pass, from Touwsriver via the Theronsberg Pass and from Citrusdal via the Gydo Pass. Ceres’ origins are linked to the expansion of stock farming by European colonists in the 18th century. Grazing licenses were granted and cattle posts established, creating a fast-moving stock
farming frontier. These areas were later permanently occupied on the loan farm system (“leenplaasstelsel”) and, after 1813, on the perpetual quitrent system (“erfpag”). As these areas became permanently settled, frontier conditions changed and towns were established to serve the needs of surrounding farmers. This was how Ceres and subsequently Prins Alfred’s Hamlet, Baliesgat, Wolseley, Op die Berg and other small towns in the district were established.Nowadays, Ceres offers a variety of accommodation, especially for those who flock to the area for the first snow and the cherry harvest in summer. Ceres properties range from R300 000 to R1 700 000 for residential homes.

WORC E S TE R There is an undiscovered magic to the lovely town and district of Worcester that will keep you guessing as to why you never explored it sooner...
Worcester nestles securely beneath the Brandwacht, Overhex and Langeberg Mountains (at 1 989m). It is the largest town in the Breede River Municipal Area with about 167 000 residents. Worcester is a 90-minute drive from Cape Town on the inland side of the Du Toits Kloof tunnel. It is surrounded by wine farms and spectacular craggy Cape mountains. In winter the peaks surrounding Worcester are often covered in snow. Worcester was planned in 1820 when it was also officially declared a “town” with its own “Drostdy” (Magistrate’s Office). The town planning was influenced by a neo-classical style and the architecture followed suit.
There are a number of year-round activities that show visitors how the pioneers used to live while a magical ambience awaits the fine art lover at The Hugo Naudé House and Jean Weltz Art Gallery. The KWV House of Brandy is a must-see as it boasts the biggest copper distill kettles of its kind… and the product is also rather tasty, too. Seeff Worcester can assist you with all types of residential property and real estate for sale and rent, including villas, houses, apartments, cluster developments, security complexes, townhouses, vacant land, guest houses and a retirement village.

Y ZE RF O N T E I N If you are looking for a property on the West Coast, Seeff can assist you with a wide choice ranging from vacant land and smallholdings to residential houses, apartments, townhouses and commercial space. Make the right investment on the West Coast and purchase a property in Yzerfontein. Blessed with the natural beauty of the West Coast, Yzerfontein nestles alongside the West Coast National Park, about 70 kilometres north of Cape Town on the R27 West Coast Road.

The famous 16 Mile Beach, a broad stretch of white sand, extents to the West Coast National Park and walks have been laid out for those who want to stroll along the shore.
A small craft harbour in the bay is used as a safe launch site by recreational boat owners and commercial fishermen who catch snoek, yellowtail and crayfish. Close offshore is Dassen Island, a small rocky outcrop with a working lighthouse and home to many different species of seabirds, penguins and Cape fur seals. Yzerfontein is a pretty seaside resort with many upmarket holiday homes belonging to farmers from the surrounding areas as well as to Europeans, mainly from the United Kingdom and Germany, who arrive each year to escape the European winter.

L AN G E B A A N Langebaan has a booming property market, yielding excellent return on investment. Some of the most sought-after seafront properties are found on the Lagoon and many call it the “Jewel of the West Coast”! Just over 100 kilometres from Cape Town, next to a scenic lagoon, nestles the picture-perfect village of Langebaan. The white sand beaches surrounding the clear waters of the Lagoon are one of the main attractions. The mild climate and protected waters here make Langebaan popular for sailing, kayaking, kite-surfing and fishing, and the town offers numerous holiday facilities for water sport enthusiasts. The town originated on a farm called De Stompe Hoek. Langebaan is one of the oldest towns in South Africa with a history dating back more than 400 years. Schaapen Island, for example, was used as a stopover to do repairs to ships. It was also used as a place of grazing for sheep that were then
returned to Cape Town by the VOC. Leentjiesklip, where we find a caravan park today, got its name from a Mr Lynch, who absconded from his ship in the area. “Lynch se klip” soon became known as “Leentiesklip”, a name still used today. Donkergat was used as a quarantine camp. In later years two fishing companies were established here: Donkergat in 1909 and Salamanderbaai in 1910. Langebaan also has an archaeological history of a few million years. Twelve kilometres east of the farm Elandsfontein, a fossilised skeleton was found that dates back to the Stone Age. This fossil deposit is considered to be one of the richest in the world.

ST HE LE NA B AY St Helena Bay is one of the most popular bays for whales to visit and calve. From August to November each year, the Southern Right Whales arrive and can be viewed from the shore.
St Helena Bay was “discovered” by the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama on 7 November 1497, during his pioneer voyage from Europe to India. He named the bay after Saint Helena, a devout, influential Christian and mother of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. It was on the shores of this bay that the first encounter between a European explorer and the indigenous Khoikhoi (nomadic herders of sheep and cattle) took place. Nowadays, St Helena Bay is one of the world’s principal fishing centres. The cold Benguela current surges upwards along this part of the coast and brings nutrient rich waters to the bay, resulting in the
abundant sea life. In winter, snoek are caught and the harbour is a vibrant, bustling hive of activity, as the fish are sold straight off the boats. More than half of the fish processed annually in South Africa is processed here. St Helena Bay is a popular tourist destination, particularly during the spring wild flower season, with visitors from all over the world who come for relaxation and recreation. Ancient granite hills and boulders form a backdrop to the village and offer stunning views of the bay and across to the Piketberg mountains, while the white sandy beaches are perfect for beachcombing and even a refreshing dip in the Atlantic Ocean.

L AMB ERT ’S B AY The small coastal town of Lambert’s Bay is known for its unspoilt beaches, crayfish diving and open-air restaurants. It is also a great place to view the lush stretches of spring wild flowers.
Lambert’s Bay is situated about 280 kilometres north of Cape Town. The town has been proclaimed “The Diamond of the West Coast” because of its white beaches, wildlife and lobsters. Although primarily a fishing town, it has become a popular tourist attraction due to its moderate all-year climate. Bird Island Nature Reserve offers colonies of seabirds a safe nesting and breeding environment. This island has been home to a large colony of gannets and was almost destroyed by ravaging seals. But with the aid of Marine and Coastal management, the situation was resolved and the gannets are one their way back to the island.
Mussel Point, a Provincial Heritage Site, is located nearby. It is the largest of 13 shell middens found along the West Coast and dates back almost 2 800 years. It is evidence of the San hunter-gatherers’ subsistence lifestyle. Nowadays, Lambert’s Bay is home to about 6 000 inhabitants, and the economy is supported by potato farming and fish factories. The town sports a Nine-Hole golf course, a bowling green, three tennis courts and a jukskei rink. The popular caravan park can accommodate 250 caravans. The locals also host an annual Crayfish Festival.

BR AC K E NFE L L Situated in the foothills of Tygerberg Hills, Brackenfell is a northern suburb approximately 35 kilometres from Cape Town and located at the gateway to the Winelands. With all the amenities of modern life on your doorstep, this is a great area in which to invest. The suburb of Brackenfell was established in 1913. Brackenfell used to be a major road crossing during the earlier days of Cape Town, but today it is a well-known suburb where different cultural groups make up the population and present an opportunity for diverse personalities to settle comfortably in this friendly community. The suburbs in this area are popular due to their quiet and friendly neighbourhoods, lots of tree-lined avenues and gorgeous views. The Durbanville business district has become quite a hive of activity and a number of firms are located here, making Brackenfell an ideal suburb for those who wish to avoid a long commute.
The Bracken Nature Reserve is worth a visit. Situated in the Ruwari suburban area, it was once a quarry site and was later declared a nature reserve after some lengthy negotiations between the Cape Town City Council and the Stellenbosch Divisional Council. Brackenfell offers schools, shopping malls and medical services, and many different sporting facilities. The local government services are provided by the City of Cape Town Municipality. Brackenfell has several major access roads including the N1, R300, Old Paarl Road and Bottelary Road. The suburb is bordered by Kraaifontein in the northeast, Kuilsrivier in the southwest and Durbanville in the northwest.
