"Real Estate 101: Did You Know?

When purchasing property in South Africa, buyers are responsible for transfer duties—a tax payable to SARS based on the property’s purchase price.

However, properties valued under R1.1 million are exempt, making it easier for first-time buyers to enter the market.

A great incentive to start building wealth through property!

"Moving costs can add up quickly, whether you're buying or renting! Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider:

1. Deposit: Expect to pay a deposit, which varies based on rental agreements or home purchase requirements.
2. Removals: Consider how you’ll transport your belongings. DIY moves may require packing materials and transport costs, while hiring movers can range from R1,000 to R50,000 depending on services and distance.
3. Storage: If there’s a gap between moving out and moving in, you might need storage. Prices vary, so shop around for the best deals.
4. Hidden Costs: Don’t forget about minor expenses like food for moving day, new curtains, and the cost of setting up utilities in your new home.

Plan ahead and budget wisely to make your move as smooth as possible! ✨

"Thinking about selling your home on your own? It may sound like a way to save money, but there’s a lot to handle solo! Pricing your home, marketing, hosting showings, paying for ads, and negotiating—these can be complex and time-consuming.

A skilled real estate agent can simplify the process, using their experience to set a strong price, handle marketing, and manage the entire sale for you. Plus, since agents work on commission, they’re highly motivated to attract quality buyers and get you the best deal.

"Are you new to renting? Let's talk about rental deposits!

Your deposit is there to protect both you and the landlord. Here's what you should keep in mind:
• The deposit is usually equal to 1-2 months’ rent.
• It's kept in an interest-bearing account, and any interest earned is yours when your lease ends.
• The deposit (and interest) can be used to cover damages, lost keys, or unpaid rent—so take care of your rental property!
• Always do an in-going and outgoing inspection with your landlord/agent to document any existing damages.

"At a time when more people than ever are renting, current market conditions favour the buyer, and there is a lot of movement happening within the country as people choose to relocate or change their lifestyle owing to changing and evolving workplaces.

Investing in property is not just about financial gain; it's about building wealth in various aspects of life. Property ownership can enrich your life emotionally, socially, and environmentally and contributes to your personal growth and lifestyle satisfaction.

Here are six types of wealth you should consider when looking at property as a wealth-building tool: https://www.just.property/news/creating-wealth-through-property/

"Buying a home is a big step, but remember, your monthly bond payment isn’t the only cost!

Here are a few hidden expenses to keep in mind when planning your budget:

• Utility Fees – Charged by your municipality for water and electricity usage. The more you use, the higher the bill!
• Rates, Taxes & Levies – These vary by property type and location and are paid to your municipality or body corporate to cover services like maintenance, waste removal, and infrastructure.
• Homeowners Insurance – Required for home loan approval, this protects your property from damage or loss.

Planning for these can help make homeownership stress-free. Let’s get you prepared for every aspect of your new home journey!

"The recent interest rate cut is a win for both buyers and sellers in today’s property market! Here's why:

For Buyers: The lower interest rate means reduced monthly bond repayments, which translates to more manageable costs for buyers. This increase in affordability opens up new property options that might have been out of reach before, making it a perfect time to explore the market and possibly buy your dream home.

For Sellers: With buyers gaining purchasing power, the demand for properties is on the rise. This can lead to quicker sales and potentially even better prices, as more buyers enter the market, ready to commit. If you’ve been thinking of selling, now could be the ideal time to benefit from the growing buyer interest.

Let Just Property guide you in taking advantage of the current market dynamics, whether you're buying or selling!
