The expansion of the Gautrain rapid rail network is no longer just a long-term transport proposal. The routes for additional lines and the locations of new stations have finally been gazetted, adding a significant new factor to the property equation for those who own homes near the new transport corridors.

That’s the word from Stephen Whitcombe, MD of the FIRZT Property Group, who notes that many residents of Sandton, Randburg, Cosmo City and Little Falls will be affected by Phase 1 of the expansion plan – and could feel an impact much greater than shorter commuting times. “Meta-studies of the effect that rapid rail or bus transport corridors have on property values have all shown that improving the availability of such public transport can significantly increase property demand and values.

“However, it must be said that the effects can vary widely, depending on location and the proximity of homes to a station, as shown by research done after the completion of the initial Gautrain routes. This study covered Sandton, Rosebank and Midrand and found the strongest ‘proximity effect’ around the Sandton station. Between 2006 and 2015, average selling prices of homes within 1km of Sandton station were 38% higher than those 1km to 2km away, and 91% higher than those 2km to 3km away. Midrand showed a smaller positive effect, while Rosebank actually showed little difference between the zones.”

Meanwhile, he says, a huge international meta-analysis of about 200 separate studies found that homes within about 400m of a rapid rail or bus station were only worth 4,2% more, on average, than comparable homes further away.

“The good news is that this impact on home values can occur even before new routes and stations are built. In fact, research in Hong Kong and London showed premiums emerging shortly after network improvements were announced...

As fuel and transport costs continue to rise, increasing numbers of SA homebuyers are reconsidering the financial appeal of living on the outskirts of cities or in smaller towns and starting to look again at bigger centres and established suburbs closer to employment, schools, shopping and other amenities.

So says Denese Zaslansky, CEO of the FIRZT Property Group, who notes that in the past nine months, petrol prices have risen by 5,27% to almost R27 a litre, while the cost of diesel has increased by more than 11% to more than R30 a litre.

“And for households already under financial pressure, the impact extends well beyond the cost of filling the car. Fuel accounts for an estimated 35% to 55% of road freight operating costs, which means that higher fuel prices feed into the cost of transporting goods and can ultimately push up the prices that consumers must pay for a multitude of products.

“They can also contribute to broader inflationary pressure, potentially putting upward pressure on interest rates and also increasing the cost of household debt.”

As a result, she says, many buyers are beginning to realise that the cheapest house is not necessarily the cheapest place to live. “When you add up the cost of travelling to work every day, taking children to school, shopping and getting to other essential services, the apparent saving achieved by buying further out, where land and house prices are generally lower, can disappear surprisingly quickly.

“We see prospective buyers becoming increasingly aware of this and looking at the total cost of living in an area, rather than just the purchase price of the property. So higher fuel prices may soon do more than squeeze household budgets: they could start to have a major influence where South Africans choose to live.”

Transport is already the third-largest contributor to household consumption expenditure nationally, while the burden is particularly severe for lower-income households, who often spend more than 20% of their income on transport...
