Interest rate cut ahead signals a good time for sellers
With a potential interest rate cut on the cards in the next two months, and the traditionally busier summer season and hopefully an end to the wet weather ahead, the property market looks set for a return of some exuberance. This also means that now may well be an ideal time for sellers to put their properties on the market.
Banks such as Standard Bank recently signalled that conditions are now favourable for the Reserve Bank to cut the interest rate. The expectation is for two cuts of 25bps each in September and November. Additionally, the rising positivity around the Government of National Unity, could be just what the economy and property market need to return some exuberance.
The property market expects the pending interest rate cuts to be a real confidence boost to encourage more buyers and investors to get back into the market. Cape Town also traditionally experiences an uptick in buyer activity in the warmer months.
Excellent service delivery and governance, combined with a desired lifestyle will also continue to fuel semigration to the Cape, adding further demand. Overall, Cape Town continues to perform notably better than the rest of the country according to various housing barometers including the StatsSA Residential Property Price Index (RPPI). This is encouraging for sellers and the market.
