Rate hike means a bumpy ride for property
T
he recent repo rate hike of 50 basis points comes as no surprise, says Samuel Seeff, chairman, Seeff group. “Consumers should be aware that this is the first of more hikes to follow.” According to him, affordability will be the key theme for the property market. “Buyers will be looking closely at prices and driving a hard bargain,” Seeff adds. Looking at the rate hike pragmatically, Andrew Golding, CEO, Pam Golding Property Group, says that although house price growth has slowed, nominal prices are currently at record highs of about R1,386m, while the real price, which takes inflation into account, is just 10% off its record highs before the 2007 crisis. “We have a rapidly growing, young
population for whom there is insufficient housing, so there is little reason to expect house prices to fall outright.” Herschel Jawitz, CEO, Jawitz Properties, says, “The 50 basis points mean an increase in repayments of R165 per month per R500,000 of bond. This may not seem significant at first glance, but when added to the previous rate hike it begins to add up.” Adrian Goslett, CEO, RE/MAX Southern Africa, says consumers who are overindebted, should seek financial advice and consolidate and pay off short-term debt. Selling a home should be the last option, as property is the one long-term asset that should yield a return over time.
Demand for rentals to increase Rising rates put a strain on affordability and make it more difficult for prospective buyers to qualify for home loans, especially if they are first-timers who also need to save large amounts of cash to pay a deposit and transfer costs. Many consumers are likely to remain in rental accommodation over the next two years ANDREW SCHAEFER, MD, TRAFALGAR
International property investment industry stable
W
ith a volatile start to the year for many global markets and a mixed economic outlook for 2016, the property investment industry remains stable.
“Our investors are increasingly choosing to allocate their funds to safe-haven property markets such as the UK and Australia, for diversification and stability purposes.
International property investment firm IP Global has a large number of clients in South Africa requesting to liquidate their share portfolios – instead, moving towards fixed, stable assets.
“The low liquidity of real estate as an asset class has always been a favourable point for investors looking to avoid instability. Property markets take more time to react to external influences, and are therefore less likely to suffer from short-term reactions to still-unfolding events,” adds Radford. “It’s during these periods of volatility that investors often appreciate bricks and mortar more than ever.”
“Property, especially during uncertain times, is one of the most sought-after investment asset classes,” says George Radford, the firm’s director for Africa.
