Property Market : Properties in the Strand varies between entry level apartments of +- R300 000 to beachfront penthouses of more than R10 million & sea front houses up to R14 million.

Entry level units started in 2003 @ R90 000 for a 30sq.m 1-bedroom apartment - selling at present from R310000. That is a growth of 244% in 3,5 years or about 70% per year! Beach front apartments were selling in 2003 from about R6000 per sq.m to about R9000 per sq.m. Finding any beachfront property for less than R11 000 per sq.m is at present problematic. New developments has already been selling during the last 18 months for between R18 000 and R30 000 per sq.m - depending on its finishes and the units location in the apartment block. The own title neighborhoods have of late seen a surge in renovations with owners adding value to their properties - fuelled by the price hikes experienced in the town. The more sought after suburbs such as Strand North, has experienced capital growth rates between 2003 & 2006 of about 150 % (43% p.a.) - with the average house price raising from R450 000 to about R1,1 million. Capital growth in the Strand has during the last months of 2007 & beginning 2008 dropped from the abovementioned high levels along with the rest of the country – with buyers taking control of the market. Affordability has during the last year became a problem in the Strand market, creating a "roll-over effect" of potential buyers to less expensive areas such a Kuilsrivier, Brackenfell and even Grabouw. The adjacent Gordons Bay has experience very similar capital growth rates than the Strand. Future growth points in the Strand property market is the so-called AECI development node across from the Somerset Mall. This will be the last land available for development - eagerly awaited by investors.- Translate
