What a property week it’s been!
As we dive into ‘silly season,’ there's still plenty of productive momentum before the holiday break. Key highlights this week include Halloween festivities, an important American election featuring Trump vs. Harris, an MPC interest rate meeting, and the excitement of Black Friday—all leading us into the festive season.
For real estate investors, remember that the best deals don’t come around often! The ASAQS is calling for urgent action against the ‘Construction Mafia,’ impacting our market. Securing properties below market value is crucial—this gives you instant equity! We shared powerful buy-to-let insights at our recent MasterClass with Jaco Grobbelaar.
Speaking of opportunities, imagine working from a stunning beachfront villa or collaborating in a vibrant co-working space in Mauritius. This beautiful island remains a top choice for South Africans seeking a blend of work and leisure. Don’t miss the Mauritius roadshow in early November—reserve your spot or schedule a one-on-one meeting here.
Exciting developments are also happening with Calgro M3, which recently transferred land for the new Bankenveld District City, conveniently located between Sandton and Waterfall, with major infrastructure upgrades already in progress.
Lastly, mark your calendars for the Green Building Council 2024 annual conference, featuring key figures in sustainability, including former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter, who will lead discussions on achieving a Net Zero built environment
Here’s to a fantastic weekend ahead!
