Few places across the globe offers such a varied and indulgent living experience as can be found in South Africa. Its world-class cities boast high-quality infrastructure, the country has a plethora of stunning beaches, and the breathtaking landscape includes everything from forests to grasslands to mountains. In addition, there is an incredible selection of luxury houses for sale at great prices for those who are looking to live in style.
Let us take a closer look at why it is a great idea to currently consider luxury houses for sale in South Africa:
Favourable market conditions
Property has always been a great investment. In South Africa, in particular, it has historically offered great returns, meaning that it was a great market for those wanting to sell their properties for a healthy profit. However, because of a number of factors coming together at the same time, the market – especially for luxury houses for sale – has cooled down in the last couple of months.
While there is no doubt that the market will jump back with great resilience, it does mean that the current conditions have created a very strong buyer’s market. Currently, the astute buyer can browse a selection of very impressive premium houses for sale in sought-after areas at very favourable prices. This also makes the local property market especially attractive to those wanting to buy property for investment reasons.
Making the market even more attractive for local buyers is the fact that the interest rate has recently been lowered, providing more affordable access to funds. For many international buyers, the highly favourable exchange rate adds to the affordability and attractiveness of local houses for sale, often providing these buyers with properties that far exceed what they are able to afford for the same amount in their home countries.
Excellent choice
As mentioned, the South African landscape is exceptionally varied – and so is the residential options available to buyers. Whatever lifestyle you prefer, there is a perfect option available:
- City living – The three main urban centres in South Africa – Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban – each offer very distinct lifestyle experiences. Johannesburg is the economic hub of Africa, making it a preferred destination for business people and those looking for a vibrant nightlife. Renowned for its beauty, Cape Town offers opulent Mediterranean-style living, while Durban has incredible beaches that allow for swimming all-year round.
- Country living – Venturing further afield, there are many picturesque towns for those looking for some peace and quiet. Few places match the opulent lifestyle available in the magnificent Cape winelands district. Or get closer to nature by investing in your own peace of the African bushveld in the northern part of the country.
- Estate living – In keeping with international residential trends, there are numerous estate developments that offer secure, luxurious living for those who are in search of all-encompassing convenience.
- Waterside living – With an extensive coastline that stretches across the majority of the country’s borders, as well as a number of rivers, dams, and wetlands, there are plenty of houses for sale for those who prefer the tranquillity of waterside living.
