Suburban Xenophobia Is it real? Are foreigners to blame for the surge in property prices and are South Africans becoming increasingly xenophobic as prime properties become less affordable? The Property Magazine, launched in April, sorts fact from fiction in
this debate that has held Capetonians in a thrall since foreigners first
started buying property here soon after democracy. |

Selling a seller a new home Very often, a person who sells his/her primary place of residence will inevitably be looking to purchase a new home to live in. This may not apply where the person is emigrating or decides to rent. "A significant portion of our clients comprise sellers of their
homes who are seeking to buy a new home", says Marianne Bester of
Bridgeway. Bridgeway offers sellers the ability to access their sale proceeds
almost immediately, instead of waiting for registration of the sale to
take place. "Many such sellers need their cash in advance to enable
them to pay down a deposit on their next purchase," explains Bester. |

|
Property developers are looking East. The Western Cape Developers are looking at their neighbours and attempting to find new playgrounds for the rich and famous. Golfing Estates and Beachfront resorts are springing in
the Eastern Cape, where developers are eating at chunks of new
ground available for development. Folk are tired of the overcrowded holiday
resorts that are overvalued and senseless.
