If you know someone considering selling, Iโ€™d appreciate the opportunity to help them achieve the best outcome.

Condensation and dampness are common issues in many homes, often leading to unpleasant odours and the growth of black mould. This occurs when warm, moist air meets a cold surface, causing water vapour to condense. Left untreated, damp can affect indoor air quality and damage internal finishes, such as paint and plaster.

Effectively managing moisture levels through proper ventilation and heating is key to maintaining a healthy and structurally sound home environment. Addressing the root cause now saves extensive repair work later.

Here are ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜€ to manage damp and condensation:

Open windows for a few minutes each day, especially in winter, to allow moist air to escape and fresh air to circulate throughout the house.

๐—จ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—˜๐˜…๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€
Always use extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms, and leave them running for a short time.

Leave a small gap between large furniture items (like beds and sofas) and external walls to allow air to circulate freely.

๐—–๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
Inspect external walls, roof tiles and window seals regularly for signs of water ingress, as this can be a serious source of internal damp.

While affordability pressures and cautious banking behaviour remain important risks, the market is showing clear signs of renewed confidence, particularly in regions benefiting from stronger economic growth, employment activity and rising household earnings.

โ€ข Home loan applications climbed 6.2% year-on-year as lower interest rates continue supporting buyer activity.
โ€ข First-time buyers are driving demand, with average purchase prices rising to a record R1.4 million.
โ€ข Rising deposits and elevated construction costs remain major affordability risks for the residential market.

According to the latest BetterBond Property Brief, the market continues to recover as lower interest rates, improving household finances and stronger economic activity support buyer confidence. However, elevated fuel prices, global geopolitical tensions and stricter lending conditions remain key risks to affordability and future market growth.
