Five property trends ahead of continued market recovery in 2025
An Eco-Focused Estate Developer shares 5 property trends ahead of continued market recovery in 2025
This has been a generally positive year for the South African housing market as new government policies, a more stable economic environment, and the latest interest rate cut boding well.
On the KZN South Coast, where property demand continues to rise, local developers have shared their insights into trends they foresee in 2025.
A developer from an Eco-Focused Estate on the Kwa Zulu Natal South Coast shares these 5 Trends:
Trend #1: Demand for land
There had been a significant increase in buyers choosing land sales over pre-developed properties.
Trend #2: Buying land for cash
Clients are also choosing to buy land as it allows them to manage their expenses more effectively.
Trend #3: Buying for the future
Another notable trend has been interest from buyers aged 40 and above, looking to build a home in the future, or as an investment opportunity.
Trend #4: More first-time buyers
Homeownership is now more accessible to first-time buyers as there are lower monthly repayments on home loans.
Trend #5: Self-sufficient estates
Finally, while the stability of the national grid has secured investor confidence, future-focused buyers are still looking for secure estates that offer the foundations for getting off-grid, both in terms of electricity consumption and water use.
