Following last week’s 0.25% increase in the prime lending rate, many homeowners and buyers will start feeling the impact on their monthly budgets.

To put it into perspective:

A R1 million home loan over 20 years has increased by approximately R168 per month following the latest rate hike. (BusinessTech)

Before the increase: ± R9,864 p/m
After the increase: ± R10,032 p/m

While this may seem small, rate increases can add up over time and affect overall affordability, especially when combined with rising living costs.

For buyers, it’s more important than ever to understand your full budget before purchasing. For homeowners, reviewing your bond and finances regularly can help you stay ahead of market changes.

Knowledge is power in any property market.

The best part of my job… handing over the keys and seeing the excitement of a new chapter beginning 🔑🏡

There’s nothing more rewarding than helping clients find a place to call home and being part of such an important milestone in their journey.

With transfer and registration costs increasing, buyers need to think beyond just the purchase price of a property.

Higher deeds office fees, transfer duty and bond registration costs can directly affect your buying power - meaning the home you comfortably qualified for a year ago may now require additional upfront cash.

Planning ahead is key.

Understanding the true cost of purchasing property before you start viewing homes can help you budget smarter, avoid surprises and make more confident decisions in today’s market.

The right advice upfront can save a lot of stress later on.

Give me a call and let’s discuss your needs.
