How prolonged high interest rates are reshaping South Africa’s property market

The next phase of the property sector will continue to be driven by lifestyle-led migration away from dense urban centres, alongside growing demand for secure, self-contained estates that offer integrated amenities and long-term convenience, says Barto van der Merwe, the managing director of Renishaw Coastal Precinct. 

He says these developments tend to provide greater value, stability and resilience across economic cycles.

“At Renishaw Coastal Precinct, we are already seeing increased interest from buyers and investors seeking developments that continue to perform well despite shifting economic conditions and interest rate pressures.”
