Exciting Times To Sell Or Buy Property In Robindale

If you are wondering what it’s like to buy property in Robindale at the moment (September 2023) you have certainly landed in the right place.  Firstly, we are seeing a buyer’s market in play.  This is a normal part of any property cycle and it does temper house prices that sometimes grow at a greater rate than property growth.

The HPI Short Version If You Buy A Property In Robindale Now

Firstly, when you buy property in Robindale now, you get great value.  The reason for this is that house prices are normalizing.  The HPI index recently confirmed by FNB is at 1.9%.  This means that property growth is now 1.9% year on year.  What this does for our poor sellers is it sometimes forces a drop in the price at which you can buy a property for.  Secondly, this is not good for Sellers because Robindale as you know is a fantastic location for schooling.  If your littlies are leaving home for Varsity or it’s time to downsize, property values are dropping a little.  This is a normal market correction and we will be back to healthier levels.  But this normalizing is just that, normal.  And prices will start to grow again with time and more certainty on a few levels that we all get.  Right now, with normalising house price values, buyers are definitely considering Robindale as a sought-after property destination for all the reasons we know.

The Buyer Affordability Short Version

When interest rates rise, and the general cost of living increases above what we are used to, many of us feel the pinch.  This works both ways if you are selling or if you are considering a move into the Robindale area.  Affordability affects what a buyer looking to move into Robindale can afford.  It’s all linked.  Also, higher interest rates mean bigger bond repayment amounts.  I know how this hurts and what is left when all the bills are paid.
