🏡 The prime lending rate has increased to 10.75%.

For homeowners with variable-rate bonds, this might mean an increase in monthly repayments. Buyers may also need to revisit their affordability calculations before committing to a property.

An interest rate increase does not mean your property plans must come to a standstill. Understanding your budget, getting pre-approved and working with experienced property professionals can help you make an informed decision.

🏡 A city’s future and its property market are more closely connected than we sometimes realise.

When infrastructure works, businesses invest and people want to live in an area, confidence grows. When confidence declines, the effects can reach neighbourhoods, businesses and property owners alike.

Jonathan Broekman sits down with Helen Zille to discuss Johannesburg’s future, the importance of reliable service delivery and infrastructure, the role of active citizens and why investment and confidence matter to the city’s property market. 🏙️

It is a conversation about more than politics. It is about the city we live in and the factors that shape its long-term future.
