Dear reader,
Ever thought of owning a piece of "space"?
A company has set up operations in China to sell land on
the moon for 289 Yuan (37 dollars) an acre, cashing in on renewed
interest in space travel after the successful five-day voyage of
Shenzhou VI. This first extraterrestrial estate agency, started
operations Wednesday in Beijing, the China Daily reported and will
issue customers with "a certificate" that ensures property
ownership and includes mineral rights up to three kilometers underground.
But what about South Africa? Is it too late to buy property?
No. "Investor demand is now being driven by expectations of
rapid rental growth as commercial property booms," says
Marc Wainer, deal-making partner in Madison, SA's largest listed
property fund manager, with a total market capitalisation
of around R13bn - It's not too late to buy
"Last week I went into the reasons that it is advantageous
to sell your home before putting in an offer on a new home. This
week I'd like to go into some detail on the intricacies of trying
to purchase a new home before selling your existing abode."
From Dave's desk this week in The Property Game - Why buy
first?
The Cape Peninsula provides surfing equal to the best in
the world. While in False Bay (eastern side) the surf is slow and
even, at Kommetjie, the seas are higher and the waves much
faster. Despite of the problems with access, the west coast provides
the most interesting and most thrilling surfing. Kommetjie's
main attraction is the wonderful, very wide beach with interesting
rocky patches. Long Beach extends over 8 kilometers to Noordhoek,
ideally suited for long beach walks. Focus on Kommetjie, Western
Cape, South Africa
